    @dancludlow Never thought of it even. Not that worried, there'll be a solution. It supposedly has Freesat & Freeview on it. Will have to try to get D's son out here, if he ever stays still, he'll know! TV is 2020 model, hardly top of the range but good enough for me.

    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 !!!!!!!!

    @HarryyMUFC Hard to tell, the production levels are so bad it's barely audible on freeview 👍

    @GBNEWS You seem to have a few sound issues on Freeview, sync and volume level

  • 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.

    @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.

  • stevenlarkins KSL Consulting Ltd (@stevenlarkins) reported

    @GBNEWS Please sort out the lip sync issues on Ch236 your Freeview Standard Definition service. Sound levels are also very low compared to BBC 1. These issues were very noticeable on your 6am breakfast show. I am viewing the Hannington Transmitter in N. Hampshire.

    @abline11 @tompfoster @GBNEWS Problem seems to be with Freeview 236.... Picture and sound quality seems poor in comparison to the website and other Freeview channels. Must be something to do with choice of camera type not being compatible with 236

    @tomhfh Freeview isn’t HD - Looks a bit poor. Any plans to upgrade it?
