    @traceyfromrasen @Kavismate @SkySportsRacing @RacingTV My Freeview signal can be hopeless at best even connected to Wi-fi but the HDMI/laptop combo works well when the cat isn’t jumping on it !

  • Putneyman Dave M (@Putneyman) reported from London, England

    Only reason I mentioned that song (Tarzan Boy) is because I've been watching a lot on NOW 80s on Freeview channel 83. I didn't realise that apart from some good songs, how much crap there was as well in the 80s 😂

    @AnnJarvis13 Well done! I'll make sure we never click on it on the freeview box, even by accident.

  • MondDevon Ray Griffiths (@MondDevon) reported

    BBC iPlayer dropping out, awful UHD colour rendition. HD Freeview by far the better viewing option #ENGCRO

  • femme_uk Georgina 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧💜🤍💚 (@femme_uk) reported

    Watching @GBNEWS - terrible picture on Freeview and sound out of synch.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported

    @BeccaHutson Any chance of looking into getting an Android TV version of the app up in the future? It'll certainly help those of us on Freeview who have a poor quality picture be able to watch in HD instead.

    Lip sync issues on freeview #GBNews

  • jagalot Alan Singleton (@jagalot) reported

    @GBNEWS you’ve got a big audio/video sync problem on Freeview

  • GoodJohn67 John Middleton (@GoodJohn67) reported

    @GBNEWS has just started give it your support Freeview 236

  • ChrisSleven Chris Sleven #DefundTheBBC (@ChrisSleven) reported

    @sophielouisecc Trying to watch it, but can't get freeview 236 so trying to watch on YouTube - no luck so far. Anyone else having the same problem?

  • terryphi Terry Phillips (@terryphi) reported

    @GBNEWS Not available on Freeview in some rural areas with signal from local relay transmitters. These have limited range of channels and GB News is not included.

  • robotmaths RobotMaths (@robotmaths) reported

    Oh dear. GB News is having problems with their microphones. (cheap jibe: they appear to be working). No, Neil Oliver faded out mid gammon diatribe. Most of all, everyone looks REALLY embarrassed to be there. They keep referring to "mainstream media" as if they weren't on FREEVIEW
