@KarmaUnc @GMB @joshwiddicombe Yes, but the BBC is a significant contributor to Arquiva who own the masts. They also support Freeview and Freesat.

@FreeviewAdvice Well, after waiting 2 weeks for a Freeview engineer we are told we need a new aerial. Also, they can’t help us because we have Sky! So they change Winter Hill and now we have to pay. Why didn’t they say this 3 weeks ago...😳

@mickmcfc1 I'll never know. I've pulled the cable out. BBC Parliament on freeview only from now on. They talk absolute bollocks but rarely about football. I'm in!

I love these Freeview updates. Each time I rescan the television I seem to lose additional channels! I'm down to QVC, Free Sports and That's 70s and it's only 3pm!

@BigJetTVLIVE I named 3 airlines on the above. Why say 10mins if you knew it wouldn’t be. You still don’t get the hang of it. Most of the times when I watch the freeview there are so many errors in it it’s unreal. If you didn’t have enough time then that’s bad planning on your side

@GBNEWS Hi GB News can you fix your Freeview Broadcast. The Sound is too quiet. Can you replace it with the HD broadcast?

@GBNEWS Dreadful picture on freeview, near complete collapse of digital signal. Sky picture good. One urgent improvement needed for the hard of hearing - subtitles! Maybe a ticker tape line running across the top of the screen?

@telday1 @Jayduck16803727 @GBNEWS I don't pay Sky a penny but previous occupant left box. It is not a subscription channel and I am watching it there now. It is only SD on Freeview and a few issues with the signal strength there.

Trying to watch GB news on freeview, but it looks very poor quality photography even taking into account it is SD.

Dear @GBNEWS Been reading about your new tv station with @danwootton & some bad George Best tribute act Could you please sign Eamonn Holmes, Nigel Farage, David Icke, Lee Hurst, get a 20-year deal for Mrs Brown's Boys, and put it on Freeview 200+ where no one will ever see it?

@Patricia344130 For me, 1) Image seems a bit grainy on Freeview, isn't it in HD. 2) a few sound issues. 3) don't like the dark set used by @afneil it just looked very dated / amateurish. But it's the content that matters and so far so good. The teething issues will get sorted.
