    @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 🙁

    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.

    @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.

    @Jan_Leeming That's not old for a Panasonic TV, mines over 15 years old and is still better than a lot I see. Channel choice usually comes from the box, Sky, Humax etc. I'm Freesat and can't get some freeview channels. Better signal though.

    @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?

    @FreeviewAdvice Have been trying to submit a report re crap reception on Freeview, ONLY on BBC. Commercial channels fine. Form always says 'something went wrong, reload the form and try again!' Life is too short to waste yet more time on incompetence. Can you help.

    @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

    My complaints about the viewing and listening quality of GB NEWS seem to have fallen on ’deaf’ ears. I watch on Freeview 236 All the sounds including interviews and adverts are very quiet now I wonder if the problem is with the Freeview chanel?

    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 ****.

    Turned off #GBNEWS due to syncing and terrible sound problems. Needs better set for breakfast and only 2 presenters. Tried on freeview and sky, both same problems.

    @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.

    @GBNEWS You seem to have a few sound issues on Freeview, sync and volume level
