  • 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…

    @braintree_ Apparently it’s going out in HD somewhere, but the quality on freeview is shockingly bad.

  • stucordy Stuart Cordy (@stucordy) reported

    @GBNEWS Hi guys. Definite technical issues at the moment. Audio and video not in sync with varying degrees of separation and picture quality is not as expected on Freeview. External guest audio is almost inaudible. Just trying to help. You’ll get there 👍

  • JonNFarmer Jon (@JonNFarmer) reported

    The sound quality on @GBNEWS is awful on Freeview

  • cue_em Howard Pitfield (@cue_em) reported

    @GBNEWS lip-synch problems on Freeview...sound is way out. Can't watch until this is fixed.

  • Barry35245095 Barry👍👮🇬🇧😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😃🇬🇧👮👍 (@Barry35245095) reported

    @GBNEWS Just to let you Guy's know. I've just switched on to 1 o'clock news and you gave a technical problem with your sound. It's not in sync. I'm on channel 236 on Freeview.

  • WrecklessGamer Booker Dewitt 🌸 (@WrecklessGamer) reported

    .@GBNEWS are you hoping to get an HD channel on Freeview? Would definitely help 👍

  • Phantaxus Phantaxus 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@Phantaxus) reported

    @mattthr The aerial to play Freeview might be an issue. I went with the Nvidia Shield however that is not cheap but does have expandable storage

  • Ne3Steve SteveNE3 (@Ne3Steve) reported

    I still have @gbnews on in the living room and my desktop monitor has freeview built in (with an aerial) so I can easily switch over with that too Yes they're having sh1t loads of technical issues, I feel sorry for them a bit but they will iron out quickly and it's live

  • 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.

  • thejohnfleming John Fleming (@thejohnfleming) reported

    1325. On a whim I looked at #GBNEWS on Freeview. The studio sound is still out-of-sync with the pictures. Oddly no problem on the ads. Amateur time.
