  • BrexitBlocklist Brexit Blocklist #FBPPR #FBPE 🇪🇺🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@BrexitBlocklist) reported

    @almostoneword @GBNEWS They’re using a freeview muxed channel, sharing a single SD channels bandwidth with other stations to save money. The audio is also terrible and out of sync.

  • twitdwood David Woodley (@twitdwood) reported

    @GBNEWS still sync problems on Freeview

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

    Andrrew Neil looks like he is streaming on You Tube at 360p watching via Freeview! #GBNews the picture quality is awful

  • ReecePorter06 Reece 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇧 (@ReecePorter06) reported

    i hope they never make it so sky or bt etc purchase European tournaments and don’t make them freeview cuz it’s so good how the whole country is on it

  • robotmaths RobotMaths (@robotmaths) reported

    Oh dear. GB News is having problems with their microphones. (cheap jibe: they appear to be working). No, Neil Oliver faded out mid gammon diatribe. Most of all, everyone looks REALLY embarrassed to be there. They keep referring to "mainstream media" as if they weren't on FREEVIEW

  • x2lls John Peterson (@x2lls) reported

    @LizBigbird @GBNEWS Same on freeview. It probably won't take long to fix.

  • Isitme19 Itsjustme-Christine🇬🇧 (@Isitme19) reported

    @Jollyanna7 @GBNEWS Thank you Johnny, I have Freeview Play, I will check it out. Its mainly live TV where the problem lies. I hope they will get them eventually I suppose it all costs money

  • timrollpickerin Tim Roll-Pickering (@timrollpickerin) reported
