@Sonic_Sinclair @bbcmicrobot Technically it is, there's support for it in DVB. There's several channels on DVB satellite that uses it, not sure there's any on freeview. Certainly all the original services shutdown or moved to MHEG. The BBC mheg service was incredible but that's shutdown now too 🙁

@FreeviewAdvice Can you help me please. I am now relying on Freeview. My tv has HD but Freeview isn’t. How do I get my Freeview into HD. It’s not a pleasure to watch. Thank you.

One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

I am watching on Freeview, the sound is terrible, sounds like you’ve got cardboard boxes on your heads, even in the studio! I can only just hear you even with the sound full volume! I turn to other channels and it’s fine and I have to turn the volume down! Please sort it !!!!!!!!

@abline11 @tompfoster @GBNEWS Problem seems to be with Freeview 236.... Picture and sound quality seems poor in comparison to the website and other Freeview channels. Must be something to do with choice of camera type not being compatible with 236

@KEdge23 Obviously there are some technical issues, the sound for one is pretty diabolical (watching on Freeview 236) have to turn the TV volume right up.

@GBNEWS Please sort out the lip sync issues on Ch236 your Freeview Standard Definition service. Sound levels are also very low compared to BBC 1. These issues were very noticeable on your 6am breakfast show. I am viewing the Hannington Transmitter in N. Hampshire.

@tomhfh Freeview isn’t HD - Looks a bit poor. Any plans to upgrade it?

@tomhfh @brixham1982 It needs to be on HD on freeview. The content is being ruined by poor sound and vision. I know its early but needs sorting.

@Rastech919 @markmaycot @GBNEWS Thank you, yes I got the channel but as I have no outside aerial some of my Freeview channels have no signal even with indoor aerial and this channel is one of them, sadly. Will just watch on their website, thank you anyway 👍

Watched 5 minutes of @GBNEWS - god it’s awful. 5 minutes of ego boosting self gratification amongst the presenters and panel, 5 minutes of poorly cut clips and amateurish direction and camera work. What a waste of freeview space.

On a freeview HD channel. Just what kind of idiot buys from them to justify the waste of broadcast spectrum?

@afneil I was looking forward to GB news but if you think I’m going watch a station with just sd picture on Freeview. If I’m not good enough for hd on Freeview I’m not bothering. Your picture quality is crap.
