    @valis64 @AndyWoodturner My mum's got a Sky Q box and has no clue how to use it apart from turning it on and flicking through the channels (not using the guide) 🙄 Problem is, she likes a lot of the Sky channels, otherwise I'd have had her back on Freeview by now.

    @JoeChapman87 @GBNEWS Freeview 236, you may need to retune your tv. A few teething problems as it only began airing tonight but it’s a different take on news which is something I was looking for. #GBNews

    @Patricia344130 For me, 1) Image seems a bit grainy on Freeview, isn't it in HD. 2) a few sound issues. 3) don't like the dark set used by @afneil it just looked very dated / amateurish. But it's the content that matters and so far so good. The teething issues will get sorted.

    @KEdge23 My problem is how the hell do I watch it. I don't have freeview!

  • LynneGordonNI Lynne Gordon (@LynneGordonNI) reported

    I’m ok with this so far, it’s giving the public a bit of a say, which is good for me. Yes there will be teething problems, channel 236 on freeview have a gander. #GBNews

    Worst picture quality for new channel @GBNEWS on #Freeview it’s 2021 not 1942! #GBNews

  • mynnoj P.G. Chodehouse (@mynnoj) reported

    ITV HD looks like **** on Freeview, is everybody throwing bitrates into a skip again to fit more trash on?

  • Bound4Hollywood Humvat Virit (@Bound4Hollywood) reported

    @GBNEWS I just tried 515 on Sky and it's an HD channel, which means I, as a satellite dish customer, have to pay extra for. Tried retuning the freeview channels and there was no 216. Conspiracy theory anyone?

  • DaveMor16686271 Dave Morrison (@DaveMor16686271) reported

    @FraserNelson The picture quality on Freeview is like watching tv 30 years ago. It’s utterly crap. Oh well back to BBC news HD.

  • MadenRon Ron Maden (@MadenRon) reported

    Tried watching #GBNews on #freeview 236. The picture quality/resolution is shockingly bad/low-resolution.

    @GBNEWS My old VHSs are better quality than your freeview channel. Have you considered upgrading to their SD service?
