  • DamienAshton Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported from Birmingham, England

    Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

  • unit_1974 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported from Birmingham, England

    @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

    @Patricia344130 For me, 1) Image seems a bit grainy on Freeview, isn't it in HD. 2) a few sound issues. 3) don't like the dark set used by @afneil it just looked very dated / amateurish. But it's the content that matters and so far so good. The teething issues will get sorted.

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

  • MadenRon Ron Maden (@MadenRon) reported

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

  • DT100 Craig Williams (@DT100) reported

    GB News is like one of those local channel 7 Freeview stations. Awful sound, cameras out of focus, and pretty sure one of the cameras is in 25p rather than 50i. I was involved in the launch of a TV channel, and we nailed it from day one. And as for the content…! #gbnews

  • chrislondon254 chris (@chrislondon254) reported

    @GBNEWS A few sound / voice sync issues watching on freeview.

  • jonthemusic Jon (@jonthemusic) reported

    @telday1 @Jayduck16803727 @GBNEWS I don't pay Sky a penny but previous occupant left box. It is not a subscription channel and I am watching it there now. It is only SD on Freeview and a few issues with the signal strength there.

  • Alexand85266011 Alexander (@Alexand85266011) reported

    @femme_uk @GBNEWS Yes, few teething problems but I've always found Freeview less than reliable.

  • oniznorb Andrew Taylor (@oniznorb) reported

    Trying to watch GB news on freeview, but it looks very poor quality photography even taking into account it is SD.

  • AbsenceMalice Cheap Jibes (@AbsenceMalice) reported

    @GBNEWS Dreadful picture on freeview, near complete collapse of digital signal. Sky picture good. One urgent improvement needed for the hard of hearing - subtitles! Maybe a ticker tape line running across the top of the screen?
