    I have tried a few times to get GB news on my television up here in Perth Scotland but been unable successful. I have freeview and I believe it is channel 236 I also have a smart TV and digital aerial so that shouldn't be an issue ,has anyone else been having the same issue ?

    @Jules_Clarke Paramount network on Freeview (I've only got freeview).

  • Statto_74 Andy Rockall (@Statto_74) reported

    I only have Freeview HD but cannot believe the difference in clarity. Have chosen to watch Sweden v Poland which is on ITV 4 in SD it’s crap compared to ITV HD.

  • GeoffreyATuck Give A F**k (@GeoffreyATuck) reported

    @jontutoring @MichelleDewbs Volume no problem on Sky but on Freeview it needs to be cranked up

  • Steven__C Steven C 🌳 (@Steven__C) reported

    @calexico65 Where I am there was always a poor signal back in the day. I remember my dad had a 500ft high aerial nailed to the side of the house at one point. Now it’s on Freeview but tbh I never watch it. In my defence I rarely watch NI News either.

    @afneil Any chance of a full catch up service on the web or YouTube or in an app? I only find snippets and would like to catch up on whole shows like iPlayer. Also any chance of a Freeview HD channel?

    @TheApsy17 @WechGangInt legit it's so ******* stupid. There's something called freeview that gives you access to quite a large amount of basic channels but I don't think that includes the BBC. The licence is required to watch anything produced by the BBC and to watch stuff when its broadcasted live
