    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

    @FraserNelson The picture quality on Freeview is like watching tv 30 years ago. It’s utterly crap. Oh well back to BBC news HD.

  • MadenRon Ron Maden (@MadenRon) reported

    Tried watching #GBNews on #freeview 236. The picture quality/resolution is shockingly bad/low-resolution.

  • AbsenceMalice Cheap Jibes (@AbsenceMalice) reported

    @GBNEWS Dreadful picture on freeview, near complete collapse of digital signal. Sky picture good. One urgent improvement needed for the hard of hearing - subtitles! Maybe a ticker tape line running across the top of the screen?

  • chrislondon254 chris (@chrislondon254) reported

    @GBNEWS A few sound / voice sync issues watching on freeview.

  • PostalTaxis Postal Taxis (@PostalTaxis) reported

    @GBNEWS need to get rid of black background, not only because it’s dreary as ****, but it encodes terribly on the low bitrate stream they’ve got on freeview. Also, there’s no contrast when everybody is wearing dark clothes.

    @GBNEWS I just tried 515 on Sky and it's an HD channel, which means I, as a satellite dish customer, have to pay extra for. Tried retuning the freeview channels and there was no 216. Conspiracy theory anyone?

  • katrina1_ Katrina (@katrina1_) reported

    Sort the picture out on Freeview @GBNEWS bloody awful .. also the lips are out of sync when they are speaking

  • climpy1980 Donna Trump (@climpy1980) reported

    @JohnHopkins_ @StopFundingHate So they still took it if that's the case. Are we going to cancel sky, virgin and Freeview companies for giving them a channel for their platform.

    @GBNEWS great intro show - had to switch to streaming though - as audio video sync was awful on freeview. Hope u can get that sorted soon. Sound start tho - keep it up! @GBNEWS @afneil
