    @DarcyLloydJoyce @guardiannews Was the best, they've been running it down, watch Sky Arts disappear from Freeview once BBC4 is out the way.

    @GBNEWS Love to be able to watch but the Freeview picture quality (and sound) are so poor. Lighting in the studio looks pretty grim too. Shame, was looking forward to this.

  • man_dobro DobroMan (@man_dobro) reported

    @GBNEWS The set is way too dark, sound needs improving. The picture on Freeview C.236 is awful. Will still watch though, anything but BBC and GMB.

  • simonlloyd100 Simon (@simonlloyd100) reported

    @afneil @GBNEWS Please improve the studio lighting...its awful...also online in HD? SD on Freeview looks bad

    @GBNEWS need to get rid of black background, not only because it’s dreary as ****, but it encodes terribly on the low bitrate stream they’ve got on freeview. Also, there’s no contrast when everybody is wearing dark clothes.

    @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.

  • TrevHead10 Trevor Howden (@TrevHead10) reported

    @vipeventdriver @GBNEWS While the picture and sound quality was a bit low, freeview west Yorkshire had no sync issues. I wonder if someone to do with the London transmission doesn't want GB news on air

  • Bound4Hollywood Humvat Virit (@Bound4Hollywood) reported

    @GBNEWS I just tried 515 on Sky and it's an HD channel, which means I, as a satellite dish customer, have to pay extra for. Tried retuning the freeview channels and there was no 216. Conspiracy theory anyone?

  • iamyogmis yogesh mistry (@iamyogmis) reported

    @GBNEWS Watching on Freeview..aweful picture quality and sound.. doesn't look professional at all... hopefully teething problems but if it doesn't improve people won't bother.

  • BotCheck9 BotCheck (@BotCheck9) reported

    @GBNEWS My old VHSs are better quality than your freeview channel. Have you considered upgrading to their SD service?

  • SnowAndBeach Grant Rivers 🇬🇧 (@SnowAndBeach) reported

    @JoeChapman87 @GBNEWS Freeview 236, you may need to retune your tv. A few teething problems as it only began airing tonight but it’s a different take on news which is something I was looking for. #GBNews
