    @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

  • paulrstamp stumpy (@paulrstamp) reported from Brixham, England

    @1AndyPurchase @GBNewsXtra @GBNEWS Great point. I watch on Freeview and was not sure if it was just an issue with my TV. Subtitles so important to many of us

  • GordonDow1 Gordon Dow (@GordonDow1) reported

    @NickCohen4 I watched @GBNEWS for a couple of minutes but sound quality was very poor plus it’s not in HD on Freeview. Don’t think it’ll last long.

  • DJMidarezaki DJ Midarezaki, Esq. 🇬🇧🇭🇰➡️ #LivesMatter (@DJMidarezaki) reported

    @TheWeeder001 @LeslieH24367191 @GBNEWS The sound seems slightly better from the web feed. Glad to hear the sync issue that was evident on the Freeview feed on launch night is fixed.

  • PaddyTaylor Paddy Taylor (@PaddyTaylor) reported

    Ironically I can’t retune my @FreeviewAdvice to get @GBNEWS due to technical issues with the Freeview service

  • BeingAutistic Matt 🦞 (@BeingAutistic) reported

    @iMultitudes Probably aggressive compression as there’s only so some much bandwidth on freeview. You get artefacts when you push audio down quality levels.

  • magj2187 BigTasty🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏉🐑 Aka Matt Jeffery. (@magj2187) reported from Shotton, Wales

    @NickPye10 @GBNEWS I’ve only got freeview and the picture quality was really poor like cathode ray tube, no remote control poor, had to turn it off it was that bad

  • SteveWardle Stephen Wardle (@SteveWardle) reported

    @GBNEWS Slowly getting better. Keep it up. Please consider an HD version for Freeview, as the picture is still poor. Also lose the black backgrounds and remove/cover up the people moving around in the background. Early days though 👍🏻

  • Ne3Steve SteveNE3 (@Ne3Steve) reported

    @Carti_Mandua @GBNEWS The picture is really clear on Sky but crap on Freeview

  • DJMidarezaki DJ Midarezaki, Esq. 🇬🇧🇭🇰➡️ #LivesMatter (@DJMidarezaki) reported

    @IvorIdea @cheesedoff3 @GBNEWS The web feed in 1080p looks pretty decent, don't forget that many commercial slots on Freeview are the reduced resolution 544x576 stretched to 16x9 ratio so looks a bit blurry and washed out.

    Has anyone noticed that half the channels on #Freeview are garbage?
