    @GBNEWS I live on the island of Islay off the west coast of Scotland. I wish to view GB news on my TV. My freeview signal is poor so channel 236 is not available. I do not have Sky as I generally stream my TV viewing via broadband. How can I get GB news on my TV?

  • 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

  • Lemonhunny Lemonhunny (Lesley) 💉💉💙💙 (@Lemonhunny) reported

    @JasonPedlow @HelenSalmon2 I can't pick it up on my Freeview TV, and not interested enough to know if it's available on anything else I have. But seriously? First guest was Nigel Farage? Yes, my lack of signal was definitely telling me to avoid it.

    @GBNEWS @afneil Not available on Freeview in South Glos: “No signal or signal too weak” message given

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

  • iamyogmis yogesh mistry (@iamyogmis) reported

    @GBNEWS Watching on Freeview..aweful picture quality and sound.. doesn't look professional at all... hopefully teething problems but if it doesn't improve people won't bother.

  • climpy1980 Donna Trump (@climpy1980) reported

    @JohnHopkins_ @StopFundingHate So they still took it if that's the case. Are we going to cancel sky, virgin and Freeview companies for giving them a channel for their platform.

  • magj2187 BigTasty🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏉🐑 Aka Matt Jeffery. (@magj2187) reported from Shotton, Wales

    @NickPye10 @GBNEWS Could do with an HD version on freeview, apart from that and the to be expected teething issues it’s ok

  • SFran51 Stephen J. Bunclark 🇬🇧 (@SFran51) reported

    @GBNEWS Hi GB News can you fix your Freeview Broadcast. The Sound is too quiet. Can you replace it with the HD broadcast?

  • TrevHead10 Trevor Howden (@TrevHead10) reported

    @vipeventdriver @GBNEWS While the picture and sound quality was a bit low, freeview west Yorkshire had no sync issues. I wonder if someone to do with the London transmission doesn't want GB news on air
