  • RoboJ1M RoboJ1M (@RoboJ1M) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @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 🙁

    @PPMurphy @GBNEWS Plus the picture quality is crap on Freeview

  • colin1951uk Colin Knight (@colin1951uk) reported

    @GBNEWS I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but I watched on Freeview last night and often the sound was out of synch when a person was talking. The 9:00pm show was worst hit. It may have been teething troubles & ok on other platforms. I’ll check again later to see how it looks.

  • PaulHayhurst_ Paul (@PaulHayhurst_) reported

    @GBNEWS Anybody else p*seed off with the audio sync issue on freeview. How long does it take to fix

  • stucordy Stuart Cordy (@stucordy) reported

    @GBNEWS Hi guys. Definite technical issues at the moment. Audio and video not in sync with varying degrees of separation and picture quality is not as expected on Freeview. External guest audio is almost inaudible. Just trying to help. You’ll get there 👍

  • GlynFordTV Glyn Ford Broadcast (@GlynFordTV) reported

    @TomSykesMedia Sorry, tried watching Lunch 12-13:00, and a bit of Breakfast on Freeview Recorder. Looks like they have confused “Test” with “Launch” days? Technically very poor and unwatchable. See you later….. off to watch paint dry…..

  • CommonSense_FT Sam #CSFT 52% 96.5% (@CommonSense_FT) reported

    @GBNEWS Agghh! Watched the launch last night,then signal breaks down (Freeview),retune & the channel disappears! Retune twice more eventually got you back, but at 11.55pm. 😔 Same thing happened this morning & you’ve disappeared again. Mendip transmitter, I believe. Frustrating!

  • Phantaxus Phantaxus 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@Phantaxus) reported

    @mattthr The aerial to play Freeview might be an issue. I went with the Nvidia Shield however that is not cheap but does have expandable storage

  • garybibby Gary Bibby (@garybibby) reported

    @JasonManford If she’s watching a sky or freeview box through it try a new HDMI lead. I’ve seen that issue before. If it’s doing it from it’s built in Tuner then it’s likely the panel and is for repair/replace.

  • oneday1will #TeamQueen 🇬🇧 (@oneday1will) reported

    @GBNEWS I'm watching on your freeview channel. There is still a voice delay since it launched last night and every guest on, the sound quality is really poor. Sadly have to switch off for a while as its annoying to watch.

  • liarpoliticians Liarpoliticians, UK has rogue Parliament+police (@liarpoliticians) reported

    @Basil2744 @GBNEWS I can confirm that @GBNews has an audio problem. BBC Breakfast / BBC News average at about -6db, GB News is a lot lower (approx -10dB).. add to that problem, it is lower volume on Freeview than on Freesat in HD - I don't know why, they should be virtually the same. #GBNews
