  • burntcopper Heather Wallace (@burntcopper) reported from Falmouth, England

    People who have Freeview - is it just a one off cost for the box or subscription and can you record stuff? (Am trying to figure out tv options and can't get virgin and sky i think you need a dish. Aerial is crap here)

    @GBNEWS Agghh! Watched the launch last night,then signal breaks down (Freeview),retune & the channel disappears! Retune twice more eventually got you back, but at 11.55pm. 😔 Same thing happened this morning & you’ve disappeared again. Mendip transmitter, I believe. Frustrating!

    @SusanHarris80 @toshtheblues I get it on freeview 236.....but had to quickly returne my TV first. However will give it a few days before I watch again while they sort the too many tech problems out. All very well investing in presenters and reporters only for the technical side to be a bit of a disaster.

    @JasonManford If she’s watching a sky or freeview box through it try a new HDMI lead. I’ve seen that issue before. If it’s doing it from it’s built in Tuner then it’s likely the panel and is for repair/replace.

    @CatharineHoey @GBNEWS It all sounds just my sort of news BUT @afneil please tell me how to listen on my aged diggy box freeview in Lewes I tried all evening without any luck. Help Please.

    @4Viewers So my Freeview only sister in law sees it and I don't. Damn!! Thank you.

  • colin1951uk Colin Knight (@colin1951uk) reported

    @GBNEWS I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but I watched on Freeview last night and often the sound was out of synch when a person was talking. The 9:00pm show was worst hit. It may have been teething troubles & ok on other platforms. I’ll check again later to see how it looks.

  • AB1ackSheep 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗽: (@AB1ackSheep) reported

    @SteveWithers @GBNEWS ‘Poor hd quality’? That’s the video bit rate, it seems limited to freeview I think? Virgin and Sky is in glorious HD. #GBNews #GBNewsLaunch

  • glovelace Graham Lovelace (@glovelace) reported

    @jennypriestley @GBNEWS Wonder if same issues on Freeview?

  • simonlloyd100 Simon (@simonlloyd100) reported

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

  • AbsenceMalice Cheap Jibes (@AbsenceMalice) reported

    @GBNEWS Transmission signal on Freeview 236 still very poor, other channels ok. Defo something wrong with the sound signal - and you need to urgently add subtitles for the hard of hearing, please try a ‘ticker tape’ across the top of the screen.
