  • LexFuturus LexFuturus (@LexFuturus) reported from Longfield, England

    Terrible streaming quality via YouTube! @btsport should have made it freeview #UCLfinal

  • Davidp1103 David-19 (@Davidp1103) reported from Gravesend, England

    @TalkTalk It would be nice if you could reduce or remove a £40 charge for an engineer who called but made no inspection of equipment, explained that Freeview channels had been altered; a fact that your customer services were not aware of, but should have known.

  • Davidp1103 Davidp (@Davidp1103) reported from Snodland, England

    Continually frustrated by @TalkTalk and its inconsistent service and performance. Have today purchased a freeview recorder to replace their box and will be actively looking for new broadband provider.

    @GBNEWS Why is you studio picture so poor on Freeview. I know its not HD, but neither is BBC News channel on Freeview and their picture is fine. Really looking forward to watching you, but not with such poor video. Its not my reception as video from your roving reporters is fine.

  • mayunion8 May Scottish/British (@mayunion8) reported

    @1AndyPurchase @GBNewsXtra @GBNEWS Great point. I watch on Freeview and was not sure if it was just an issue with my TV. Subtitles so important to many of us

  • CllrGareth CllrGareth (@CllrGareth) reported

    @GBNEWS A few other things… your YouTube doesn’t have a live feed. The IOS app forces horizontal rotation. Freeview is in a pretty poor SD. There’s no smart tv apps. Eg roku/tizen/webos.

  • SteveWardle Stephen Wardle (@SteveWardle) reported

    @GBNEWS Slowly getting better. Keep it up. Please consider an HD version for Freeview, as the picture is still poor. Also lose the black backgrounds and remove/cover up the people moving around in the background. Early days though 👍🏻

  • STh177 SimonThomas (@STh177) reported

    @GBNEWS Liking the new style, thought you should know sound still poor watching on ch 236 freeview the ads and voice in studio are lower than other channels non studio guest levels are even lower a whisper .Also ticker tape still says Simon McCoy show? Vision still grainy

  • AFCMan_Uk Dave Thorn (@AFCMan_Uk) reported

    @GBNEWS You still seem to be having volume issues on Freeview. Loving the channel, but just seems to be 50% quieter than all other channels. Hope you fix this soon :)

  • KeithParrycdf Keith Parry (@KeithParrycdf) reported

    GB News. A tv station to promote unionism, not my cup of tea. Seen it on Freeview, production quality is crap. Sound not syncrynised with pictures. Sound levels of interviewees all over the place. Sound generally much lower level than BBC1 etc.

    Anyone else having trouble with #FreeView channels this evening?
