  • KAK_Tweets Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported from Treorchy, Wales

    @flickeringflxme I’ve never seen that one myself but somehow my granddad ended up buying it for himself which was made weirder by the fact he only had freeview so didn’t even have Disney Channel. He loved it though

  • philcowley2 Phil Cowley #YJB4LIFE (@philcowley2) reported from Swansea, Wales

    @BeOdd2 What service. Sky Virgin Freeview?

  • RobbieCub7 Rob Morgans (@RobbieCub7) reported from Margam, Wales

    @FreeviewTV @fb2070 My mother has had the same problem. Didn’t have any channels, so I retuned the Freeview box. HD channels are now missing. Can you advise please?

  • 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.

  • ShazzaG8 Shazza G (@ShazzaG8) reported

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

  • KrawiecRichard Richard Krawiec (@KrawiecRichard) reported

    @GBNEWS Low sound and out of sync, dark (but better than yesterday), lowest resolution of any of the Freeview channels makes the viewing experience hard to enjoy.

  • steve9930 Steve Palmer (@steve9930) reported

    @GBNEWS Sorry, would like to watch on Freeview but SD quality in 2021? The sound quality is poor and also out of sync!

  • Nomaxone Nomaxone (@Nomaxone) reported

    @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

  • banihwah Hugh P (@banihwah) reported

    @gbnews Just a heads up, on Freeview your sound output is really low. If I hop between channels you are perhaps 25% down on the others.

  • PeteGasLondon1 PeteGasLondon #IAmJeremyCorbyn (@PeteGasLondon1) reported

    @ProbablyJoshua_ @SholaMos1 Hmm I'm not sure - its GOT a Freeview/Freesat channel! If the online response is 80-90% NEGATIVE it helps dissuade ADVERTISERS putting any MONEY into the awful thing :)

  • JonNFarmer Jon (@JonNFarmer) reported

    The sound quality on @GBNEWS is awful on Freeview

  • BillyKane0 Billy #Boom Kane (@BillyKane0) reported

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

  • andyfalc Captain Andy ن (@andyfalc) reported

    @GBNEWS I'm really frustrated with the quality of sound on your output. It's crap! I watch on Freeview and the general audio is so quiet I have to double my usual TV volume and then many of your contributor's microphones are even worse. It is unwatchable, can you not sort it out?
