    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

  • moxcity76 wayne moxey (@moxcity76) reported from Exeter District, England

  • VeryAtheist Jenny Brocking (@VeryAtheist) reported from Exeter District, England

    @FreeviewAdvice Since they messed with the Stockland Hill transmitter my freeview barely works. Signal keeps going. I’ve retuned etc. Exeter EX4 area.

    @Jamesmack007 @GBNEWS It's crystal clear on Virgin Media TV in my front room but the image is fuzzy and blurry on FreeviewHD on my upstairs TV. It's down to the provider. If your watching it on Freeview that is the problem.

  • STh177 SimonThomas (@STh177) reported

    @GBNEWS Liking the new style, thought you should know sound still poor watching on ch 236 freeview the ads and voice in studio are lower than other channels non studio guest levels are even lower a whisper .Also ticker tape still says Simon McCoy show? Vision still grainy

  • MrMichaelAyy Michaelteach💙 (@MrMichaelAyy) reported

    @generational55 @BoardroomBoy @macnahgalla Just out of interest. If Islamic state started a news channel on Freeview, would you support it? Hypothetical question… I know, but an interesting thought experiment.

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

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

  • 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.

  • SteveWardle Stephen Wardle (@SteveWardle) reported

    @GBNEWS Slowly getting better. Keep it up. Please consider an HD version for Freeview, as the picture is still poor. Also lose the black backgrounds and remove/cover up the people moving around in the background. Early days though 👍🏻

  • 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.

  • AFCMan_Uk Dave Thorn (@AFCMan_Uk) reported

    @GBNEWS You still seem to be having volume issues on Freeview. Loving the channel, but just seems to be 50% quieter than all other channels. Hope you fix this soon :)

  • NewWorldLoading Nathan Blake (@NewWorldLoading) reported

    @TaniaWren @GBNEWS @Specsavers It's on 216 on Freeview. I have watched it a few times. Not bad just a bit of a dark studio. Could do with brightening up a bit!
