    @istanbulfiona @LesleyRiddoch Away down at Channel 82 on Freeview. Why not #BBCSCOTLAND

  • tartan1314 Fiona Collie (@tartan1314) reported from Bonnybridge, Scotland

    @BBCPhilipSim Maybe it's time to make BBC a commercial channel ie no licence. They can then raise income from advertising & charge for iplayer service (believe is being considered). That way no person would have a licence to pay & would only buy in other services they wanted above freeview

    @GBNEWS need to get rid of black background, not only because it’s dreary as ****, but it encodes terribly on the low bitrate stream they’ve got on freeview. Also, there’s no contrast when everybody is wearing dark clothes.

  • Lemonhunny Lemonhunny (Lesley) 💉💉💙💙 (@Lemonhunny) reported

    @TVRav Never mind the audio sync...on my TV (yes, I just remembered to go look!), I can't even get the picture. Every Freeview channel is fine (Sky news on right now), but GB News is just pixellated, squeaky mess.

    @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.

  • TrevHead10 Trevor Howden (@TrevHead10) reported

    @vipeventdriver @GBNEWS While the picture and sound quality was a bit low, freeview west Yorkshire had no sync issues. I wonder if someone to do with the London transmission doesn't want GB news on air

  • JohnnyDownes ❌Johnny Downes (@JohnnyDownes) reported

    Watching #GBNews on FreeView 236 yesterday there was a slight delay between the sound and the picture. Hope they can fix that. Otherwise... Excellent.

  • TheCheekyMissB Di 💙 (@TheCheekyMissB) reported

    @reece_dinsdale I tuned on last night, saw Dan wootton and turned back off. Watching on freeview and it looked terrible with what looks like rubbish imaged backdrops too

  • oniznorb Andrew Taylor (@oniznorb) reported

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

  • at67435 Iron Thompson (@at67435) reported

    @GBNEWS Good start but you need to fix a couple of issues, most notably the image is too dark and the sound is too quiet. On freeview anyway.

  • I_am_KenBarlow Ken Barlow (@I_am_KenBarlow) reported

    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?

  • DaveMor16686271 Dave Morrison (@DaveMor16686271) reported

    @FraserNelson The picture quality on Freeview is like watching tv 30 years ago. It’s utterly crap. Oh well back to BBC news HD.
