  • GordonDow1 Gordon Dow (@GordonDow1) reported

    @NickCohen4 I watched @GBNEWS for a couple of minutes but sound quality was very poor plus it’s not in HD on Freeview. Don’t think it’ll last long.

  • ChrisDFirth Chris Firth (@ChrisDFirth) reported

    @GBNEWS Unfortunately sound quality has been poor throughout. I am watching on Freesat and Freeview. The first night Andrew Neil's voice was not in sync with the pictures. Sound levels vary when changing to different locations. And yes black suits with a black background doesn't work.

  • DomaineValescia Paul H 🐝 🇬🇧 (@DomaineValescia) reported

    @GBNEWS My problem is video. Constant pixelation and then feed drops altogether. Makes it unwatchable. Using freeview 236

  • ferrarif50lover That man there (@ferrarif50lover) reported

    Right, best quality TV I ever watch is HD Freeview. I do watch Netflicks and whatnot, but I don't know what standard they're in. What's the best resolution TV is worth my getting?

  • Fatjon27803327 TheFatjon (@Fatjon27803327) reported

    @GBNEWS Give us a fireTV app. The Freeview app doesn't work even if you have the knowhow to sideload it so unless you pay for Sky or watch on a phone you can't easily watch at all. I'm too old to squint at a phone for hours.

    @MaddrellDen @GBNEWS If you're high enough, you can get Freeview from Belfast or from Winter Hill, which gets all the channels. Those of us using on-island transmitters only get a snapshot of a full Freeview service. Still have to pay a full cost licence fee though! 😠

    @GBNEWS 236 Freeview has Al Jazzera on my TV. Help.

  • TkoCymon Cymon Humphries (@TkoCymon) reported

    @Winiman3 @GBNEWS Well that’s is never going to happen as only a few HD freeview slots which the 4 public service broadcasters all have

  • CllrGareth CllrGareth (@CllrGareth) reported

    @GBNEWS A few other things… your YouTube doesn’t have a live feed. The IOS app forces horizontal rotation. Freeview is in a pretty poor SD. There’s no smart tv apps. Eg roku/tizen/webos.

  • DBJ1970 Djsoapytitwank (@DBJ1970) reported

    @GBNEWS Zero signal on freeview in Cambridgeshire. If you can put it live on YouTube I'll be another new customer.
