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

    @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

    @shoba_31 Not down, watching GB News on freeview 236.

  • LordduFey Mark Duffy (@LordduFey) reported

    @GBNEWS Hi there, congratulations on launching your great news channel. I’ve noticed that the volume on your channel is much lower than the other channels on Freeview. Is this for your tech guys to fix, or is the problem with Freeview to fix?

  • wordspinster Debbie Cameron (@wordspinster) reported

    @DrClaireH Discovering that this is available on Freeview has vindicated my policy of only ever retuning when I suddenly lose a channel I actually watch--every time I do retune I get mesmerised by a bunch of new and terrible additions

  • DJMidarezaki DJ Midarezaki, Esq. 🇬🇧🇭🇰➡️ #LivesMatter (@DJMidarezaki) reported

    @Gbeebies If you're watching on Freeview the picture quality is likely down to most streams on the commercial multiplexes being transmitted at 544x576 then stretched to 16x9 to keep bandwidth down (thus sell more channel slots). This is down to the multiplex operator, not the channels.

    @washedlufcwhite Hi, I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Freeview channels. So we can look into this further for you can you please DM us your postcode and house name or number. Thanks, Dylan.

    @IndyVoices @tompeck I can't actually get it on Freeview, signal too weak in the middle of Northants! So only seen snippets but pretty much what I expected. From comments I have seen from the 'can't wait' to see it brigade the infighting and dissatisfaction is well under way, also just as expected!

  • YoungOneUK AndyYoung (@YoungOneUK) reported

    @FreeviewAdvice @Jamesmack007 @GBNEWS Speaking with people across my Town and troubleshooting with others across the internet. GBNews on Freeview is slightly blurry and fuzzy. This would suggest it is a Freeview transmission issue not a receiver issue as others are having the exact same problem.

  • DawnieR2 💙Dawn💙ProudtobeBritish💙🇬🇧 (@DawnieR2) reported

    @sandieshoes We would be happy to. Cancel our Sky subscription and watch it on Freeview / subscription. Likewise we subscribe to Amazon Prime, Netflix, don't give it a 2nd thought. Good VFM.

    @GBNEWS @afneil Such a shame you’re all the way down the freeview channels on no.236 while the BBC are still squatting on the defunct BBC3 freeview channel no.7… Maybe after the teething troubles are sorted this is something to aspire to? Kindest regards
