• Damien Ashton-Wellman (@DamienAshton) reported 6 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  Looking through the festive TV schedule and there's no Muppet Christmas Carol on any of the freeview channels this year. Never wanted @DisneyPlus to launch more than right now.

• 🐺Wolfish (@unit_1974) reported 31 minutes ago from Birmingham, England

  @Matey30 @virginmedia Nothing less than I’ve come to expect from them. Service has been so bad which is why we’ve left their tv service. Had to keep the broadband for now due to limitations of other local providers. Now watching freeview…

  @MaddrellDen @GBNEWS If you're high enough, you can get Freeview from Belfast or from Winter Hill, which gets all the channels. Those of us using on-island transmitters only get a snapshot of a full Freeview service. Still have to pay a full cost licence fee though! 😠

• Dave Thorn (@AFCMan_Uk) reported 12 minutes ago

  @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 :)

  @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

  @FreeviewAdvice Can’t get gb news on freeview can you help

• Gammon King (@Diccus1) reported 15 minutes ago

  @mrlkdds @GBNEWS It seems to be a problem on Freeview, but in HD on virgin it’s fine. Very strange.

• CllrGareth (@CllrGareth) reported 17 minutes ago

  @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.

• Luna (@BindiLuna) reported 17 minutes ago

  @GBNEWS You need to sort out your sound issues and improve the signal for people who watch Freeview which is probably going to be your number one source of viewers.
