    @BoostTorbay @AndrewBrazier1 Never used the first two options. Very much old school. None of the fancy pants Sky or Virgin Media either. Just plain old Freeview for me

    @JolyonMaugham I took a look at it, just to see the bias. Something wrong with their sound, quiet and as if in a tunnel. Sky news reporting from Scotland Yard, 236 Freeview GBN the great deal with Australia. The deal could make farmers go out of business. I watched 6 minutes, never again

    @IvorIdea @cheesedoff3 @GBNEWS The web feed in 1080p looks pretty decent, don't forget that many commercial slots on Freeview are the reduced resolution 544x576 stretched to 16x9 ratio so looks a bit blurry and washed out.

  • 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 👍🏻

    @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

    Twitter playing right into GB N*ws hands No publicity is bad publicity and the BBC is finishing off their reporting of the ads being pulled like this: "GB News is available on Freeview channel 236 as well as other platforms including Sky, Virgin Media and Freesat." #Ikea

    @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?

  • czerkawska Czerkawska 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇪🇺 (@czerkawska) reported

    @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.

  • sean_antrim Sean Antrim (@sean_antrim) reported

    Has anyone noticed that half the channels on #Freeview are garbage?

  • ian_charles007 Ian Charles (@ian_charles007) reported
