    @cheesedoff3 There was films on TV that were in black-and-white over the Christmas films that were 60 years old TV series that was 60 years old they obviously get them for next to nothing can pop them down our throats as soon as my contract is up I’m going Freeview next year

  • MaggieMhm Maggie Hathaway-Mills (@MaggieMhm) reported from Swindon, England

    @Tim_Pilcher Me. I watch documentaries. Which is why I'm on Sky, best service for them. Now I'm pissed off because I'm likely to lose Sky because my sheltered housing scheme system is faulty. And Swindon Borough Council aren't likely to fix it. I'm going to be stuck with Freeview. 😱😱😱

    @afneil @GBNEWS watching initial broadcast on Freeview 236 very poor screen image as SD, worth looking at streaming live on YouTube in HD otherwise poor experience for large audience. I have same issue with Sky on Freeview and they fortunately provide alternative on YouTube 👍

  • SnowAndBeach Grant Rivers 🇬🇧 (@SnowAndBeach) reported

    @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

  • susanstanwix sozzledsue 🇬🇧💐🍷 (@susanstanwix) reported

    @sylvesterhakin @AthenaFreedom20 Oh I’ve not had any problems at all, I’ve retuned the Freeview and it was automatically on Dky.

    @TVRav Never mind the audio sync...on my TV (yes, I just remembered to go look!), I can't even get the picture. Every Freeview channel is fine (Sky news on right now), but GB News is just pixellated, squeaky mess.

  • AlasdairIS Alasdair Stewart (@AlasdairIS) reported

    @AlexSelbyB @GBNEWS They are on every platform and service... Freeview Freesat Sky Virgin Youview Youtube And lastly via the Internet - guess it's time for you to log off!

    @telday1 @Jayduck16803727 @GBNEWS I don't pay Sky a penny but previous occupant left box. It is not a subscription channel and I am watching it there now. It is only SD on Freeview and a few issues with the signal strength there.

  • 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.

  • ReecePorter06 Reece 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇧🇧 (@ReecePorter06) reported

    i hope they never make it so sky or bt etc purchase European tournaments and don’t make them freeview cuz it’s so good how the whole country is on it

  • AbsenceMalice Cheap Jibes (@AbsenceMalice) reported

    @GBNEWS Dreadful picture on freeview, near complete collapse of digital signal. Sky picture good. One urgent improvement needed for the hard of hearing - subtitles! Maybe a ticker tape line running across the top of the screen?

  • PaulRutters Paul Rutterford (@PaulRutters) reported

    @scottjanaway @GBNEWS A few teething problems I would say - lip sync sorted 👍🏻 picture quality better on sky, but freeview very grainy. Set is very dark for sure @GBNEWS
