@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.

@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 🙁

@jonhoneyball @afneil @GBNEWS Technically it's all a bit amateur hour. Terrible size ticker bar which covers far to much screen space. Hangs around to long full size, awful font size and dodgy design. Far to dark sets. Awful levels for sound. The Freeview feed is 10db to low compared to every other channel...

@GBNEWS I live on the island of Islay off the west coast of Scotland. I wish to view GB news on my TV. My freeview signal is poor so channel 236 is not available. I do not have Sky as I generally stream my TV viewing via broadband. How can I get GB news on my TV?

@JulietJeater Send it back for a refund and look at TVs with a Freeview Player installed. Not sure if this is down to BBC or Apple - had to speak with various Apple people around the globe before I ended up with an Irish one who understood the problem.

@GBNEWS Transmission signal on Freeview 236 still very poor, other channels ok. Defo something wrong with the sound signal - and you need to urgently add subtitles for the hard of hearing, please try a ‘ticker tape’ across the top of the screen.

@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

@SteveWithers @GBNEWS ‘Poor hd quality’? That’s the video bit rate, it seems limited to freeview I think? Virgin and Sky is in glorious HD. #GBNews #GBNewsLaunch
