    Can somebody please tell me the best USB thing that I can get that will play freeview tv like ITV/BBC to plug into my tv, because ITV hub is ****.

    @iMultitudes Probably aggressive compression as there’s only so some much bandwidth on freeview. You get artefacts when you push audio down quality levels.

    @JolyonMaugham I took a look at it, just to see the bias. Something wrong with their sound, quiet and as if in a tunnel. Sky news reporting from Scotland Yard, 236 Freeview GBN the great deal with Australia. The deal could make farmers go out of business. I watched 6 minutes, never again

    @GBNEWS Why is you studio picture so poor on Freeview. I know its not HD, but neither is BBC News channel on Freeview and their picture is fine. Really looking forward to watching you, but not with such poor video. Its not my reception as video from your roving reporters is fine.

    @miffythegamer Don't have Freeview? Amazon box? Sky? WTF? Has their telly still got a box on the back? Buy a new TV and **** off!

    It's so bland and sanitised too. If you want to see 'Rightist extremism', you sure as **** won't get it on freeview television..

  • ShutMinds Chris Cross (@ShutMinds) reported

    @GBNEWS @afneil 24 hours is enough to get some of the tech issues fixed. Sound is still around 10dB lower than all other channels on Freeview. Why are people repeatedly not miked up properly? It isn't amateur hour - many are wishing you well but their patience is being tested.

  • miffythegamer Miffy🏳️‍🌈 (@miffythegamer) reported

    Some of my gammon acquaintances have asked me how they can access GBeebies if they don’t have FreeView. Because I’m a helpful sort of person, I’ve told them that they can achieve exactly the same effect by sitting down and watching a fish tank filled to the top with dog ****.

    @GBNEWS please sort your tech issues out…and get a Freeview HD channel. Thanks.
