  • LILBUBBLE1 Bu88ble (@LILBUBBLE1) reported from Walthamstow, England

    @FreeviewAdvice I’ve been experiencing a lot of poor quality imaging/interruptions of my freeview in my area, Chingford, London. Also I’ve been able to DM you and I’m not sure why the system is not enabling it. It doesn’t bring up your company when I try

  • 1FatKev Kevin Killoran (@1FatKev) reported from Hackney, England

    @virginmedia really poor show all TV channels drop out just as the snooker semifinal is about to finish #freeview why not.

  • themib Martin Bentley, AKA Martin Bentley (@themib) reported from London, England

    Also, NXT UK will air on a weeks delay on the Paramount Network, which puts them on Freeview.

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GeoffTurner13 Geoff & Christine (@GeoffTurner13) reported

    Started watching @GBNEWS shame that the sound on Freeview channel 236 is so poor.

  • 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.

  • DavidDoveton DavidHolroyd-Doveton (@DavidDoveton) reported

    @GBNEWS If only I can hear the program properly on Freeview. The sound is awful. Cannot hear on the highest volume. Get you sound engineer to sort it out or get a new sound engineer.

  • wisteriawitch Lynne (@wisteriawitch) reported

    @JOEPUBLIC20171 @GBNEWS @afneil I'd be happy just to have some proper sound so I can hear it. Apparently those watching it via Freeview are having the same problem.

  • AB1ackSheep 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗽: (@AB1ackSheep) reported

    @jangotch @GBNEWS Not seeing any syncing problems here at all (IOS/Android/VM & Sky) are you on Freeview? #gbnews

  • 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 ****.

  • Adam20876108 Adam (@Adam20876108) reported

    @GBNEWS sound levels VERY LOW on Freeview. Please fix.

  • escalera_adrian adrian1909 (@escalera_adrian) reported

    @GBNEWS . Some suggestions. Dark studio. Sound issues. 3 minute news bulletin at top of the hour only. International news bulletin once or twice day. I only have Freeview so you need HD YouTube live feed ASAP. News APP. Better news website Other than that I like the new service

  • czerkawska Czerkawska 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@czerkawska) reported

    @BBC Been trying to report Freeview reception fault for last hour. YOUR FORM DOESN'T WORK. Severe problems ONLY with BBC. Trawl through form, submit, and keep getting 'something went wrong resubmit' message. Complaints site directs me to the same useless site. Can you help?

  • banihwah Hugh P (@banihwah) reported

    @gbnews Just a heads up, on Freeview your sound output is really low. If I hop between channels you are perhaps 25% down on the others.
