    @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

  • Like47 Les Dawson and me #JC4PM2019 #LabourActivist (@Like47) reported from Manchester, England

    @gary_worden @cjssydney @cptcapitalg @FrogAlaPeche Poor people either don't have a TV or watch freeview.

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

  • DaveMor16686271 Dave Morrison (@DaveMor16686271) reported

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

  • Lemonhunny Lemonhunny (Lesley) 💉💉💙💙 (@Lemonhunny) reported

    @TVRav Never mind the audio sync...on my TV (yes, I just remembered to go look!), I can't even get the picture. Every Freeview channel is fine (Sky news on right now), but GB News is just pixellated, squeaky mess.

  • katrina1_ Katrina (@katrina1_) reported

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

  • wubands2 wubands2 (@wubands2) reported

    @tomhfh 1) Make sure your microphone works... 2) we also can hear the production team chatting on the iPad feed..... while Neil Olivers Mike failed.... 3) Freeview 236 sound not in sync with video.... 4) iPad feed is 30seconds behind live, time wrong 50% of time! Not 1 issue..4+

  • at67435 Iron Thompson (@at67435) reported

    @GBNEWS Good start but you need to fix a couple of issues, most notably the image is too dark and the sound is too quiet. On freeview anyway.

  • ByrneBarry Barry Byrne (@ByrneBarry) reported

    @At7dwarfs Not experiencing any problem like that. Set up a re tune on Freeview, should only take a few mins.

  • ReecePorter06 Reece 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇧 (@ReecePorter06) reported

    i hope they never make it so sky or bt etc purchase European tournaments and don’t make them freeview cuz it’s so good how the whole country is on it

  • Janela_X Jane Lax - proud of Scotland, SNP are not Scotland (@Janela_X) reported

  • LadyNakanoT Eliza (@LadyNakanoT) reported
