  • PaulW_1 Paul Williams✈️ (@PaulW_1) reported from Sale, England

    @BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

  • basingbot basingbot (@basingbot) reported

    I am watching on Freeview, the sound is terrible, sounds like you’ve got cardboard boxes on your heads, even in the studio! I can only just hear you even with the sound full volume! I turn to other channels and it’s fine and I have to turn the volume down! Please sort it !!!!!!!!

  • seabros Steve Seabrooke (@seabros) reported

    @GBNEWS Good luck with the new channel. Two points need sorting out asap. The sound volume on Freeview is very low compared to other channels and the picture quality in studio is poor. Teething problems I'm sure.

  • WrecklessGamer Booker Dewitt 🌸 (@WrecklessGamer) reported

    .@GBNEWS are you hoping to get an HD channel on Freeview? Would definitely help 👍

  • k4bladesagain cheekfulloftongue🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@k4bladesagain) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @robertamw The sound seems very low so I have to turn the volume up much higher than other channels. Not sure if this is due to something at their end or due to some sort of Freeview issue???

  • markvonrichards Marko Von Richards🤡 (@markvonrichards) reported

    On a freeview HD channel. Just what kind of idiot buys from them to justify the waste of broadcast spectrum?

  • DaveMor16686271 Dave Morrison (@DaveMor16686271) reported

    @afneil I was looking forward to GB news but if you think I’m going watch a station with just sd picture on Freeview. If I’m not good enough for hd on Freeview I’m not bothering. Your picture quality is crap.

  • JonNFarmer Jon (@JonNFarmer) reported

    The sound quality on @GBNEWS is awful on Freeview

  • NicheLocal Niche Local (@NicheLocal) reported

    @GBNEWS ….Hi …Trying to watch today’s Freeview 236….poor quality picture & terrible sound quality…hopefully just a start-up problem 🤔…But I will not give up on you.🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

  • eddsirr Edd Sirr (@eddsirr) reported

    Watched 5 minutes of @GBNEWS - god it’s awful. 5 minutes of ego boosting self gratification amongst the presenters and panel, 5 minutes of poorly cut clips and amateurish direction and camera work. What a waste of freeview space.

  • JackyCwiero Jacky Cwiero (@JackyCwiero) reported

    @KEdge23 Obviously there are some technical issues, the sound for one is pretty diabolical (watching on Freeview 236) have to turn the TV volume right up.
