    @colinbrazierGBN We can’t get it on our NI freeview. Anyone else having this problem? Can get it on the website though. Good luck!

    @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

  • timrollpickerin Tim Roll-Pickering (@timrollpickerin) reported

    @Liv_Lever @GBNEWS And my broadband is down. I hope @GBNews is on a Freeview frequency that can cope with hot weather (looking at you BBC).

  • x2lls John Peterson (@x2lls) reported

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

    @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.
