    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

    @GBNEWS If only I can hear the program properly on Freeview. The sound is awful. Cannot hear on the highest volume. Get you sound engineer to sort it out or get a new sound engineer.

  • FatherJones1 FatherJones (@FatherJones1) reported

    @DerekWatson @Baronbigbucks @GBNEWS The sound quality generally is poor for this station on Freeview, and the picture quality and sync isn't all that, either. I get Freeview via the Larkstoke relay transmitter, which is a bit duff for all stations, but it's what we're stuck with where I live.

  • 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.

  • Ella1898 Ella Newton (@Ella1898) reported

    @jaycee1001 @SusanEacock Seems to have gone down well, sorry I missed it. What freeview channel is it on?

  • mumofboys72 nick (@mumofboys72) reported

    .dear @GBNEWS is there any chance you can sort the sound out . On freeview your channel is realy quiet i had to turn it right up way over what i use other channels on . Hopeing you can fix it

  • escalera_adrian adrian1909 (@escalera_adrian) reported

    @GBNEWS . Some suggestions. Dark studio. Sound issues. 3 minute news bulletin at top of the hour only. International news bulletin once or twice day. I only have Freeview so you need HD YouTube live feed ASAP. News APP. Better news website Other than that I like the new service

  • JohnLewis2468 John Lewis (@JohnLewis2468) reported

    @GBNEWS the lip sync on #Freeview 216 is terrible!

  • Norfolk_Girly PartyGirl 💐 now-staying-indoors 🌼 (@Norfolk_Girly) reported

    Turned off #GBNEWS due to syncing and terrible sound problems. Needs better set for breakfast and only 2 presenters. Tried on freeview and sky, both same problems.

  • 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.

  • man_dobro DobroMan (@man_dobro) reported

    @GBNEWS I can no longer watch, the picture and sound level is awful on Freeview 236. The set is too dark. I want to support you but can't at this point in time.
