    With all this wall to wall coverage crap of a dead man by @skynews and @bbcnews Netflix and Freeview's viewing figures must be the highest they've ever been.

  • PurpleDon1973 MadameCholet (@PurpleDon1973) reported from Ilford, England

    Some days I really wish I'd kept all those calls to @JimDavisOnAir on my freeview box. I've been sent way back in time with a USB memory stick, a few years back with some calls. Damn, I really miss those days with the song choice and #JimDavisLive And it was just brilliant radio

    @TalkingPicsTV Hello. Watching at about 4.35 pm on Monday 24th the Sky TV picture was completely lost from your channel and went off air. All other channels were fine. Also okay on Freeview but I missed the end of the film. At 4.48 pm it is still without a, signal. What's up?

  • XtopherCalvert Christmas Calvert (he/him) (@XtopherCalvert) reported from Poplar, England

    Question for arts people. We don’t use Freeview as our signal is much more reliable using Apple TV through our internet connection. Is there a way I can get @SkyArts via Apple TV?

  • MartinC93414706 Martin (@MartinC93414706) reported from Lambeth, England

    @GeorgeBollands @gemoore83 @BBCSport Ok… I have Now tv so don’t think I can get that but I’ll have a look. My regular freeview is crap as I don’t have an aerial, only have internet streamed TV.

  • PlexNetflix Martin Phillp 🔶 (@PlexNetflix) reported from Camberwell, England

    My broadband has gone down, so stuck watching QVC on Freeview.

  • shoxtl2 Carl (@shoxtl2) reported from Croydon, England

    @MyHydeHome @SCCIAlphatrack Not even sure how that's possible there's no record anyways over the weekend we lost signal for the communal aerial it has become very weak very pixelated can pick up the Freeview HD channels

  • Dante_Banks Danté Banks (@Dante_Banks) reported from Tottenham, England

    @tinytwink The poor shouldn't have anything they have to work for. Big screen TV - nope. Netflix - what's wrong with Freeview? Mobile phone - can't they walk to the phone box on the corner that was disconnected five years ago. They think if you're poor you should suffer or not be poor.

  • 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.

  • respeak_uk Politically Homeless #ShockDoctrine #NHSPay15 (@respeak_uk) reported

    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

  • Colin08302719 Colin (@Colin08302719) reported

    @GBNEWS Finally on air .The 1970s graphics are almost bearable but the complete inability to produce any broadcast quality sound is not. Fix it please then I can try and listen to you .I watch on freeview in London.

  • James_T29 James (@James_T29) reported

    @GBNEWS please sort your tech issues out…and get a Freeview HD channel. Thanks.

  • he1entweets Helen M (@he1entweets) reported

    @emilyhewertson Sad really because no sane person could tune in for longer than 10minutes on freeview the sound is so bad and not getting any better.

  • mumofboys72 nick (@mumofboys72) reported

    .dear @GBNEWS is there any chance you can sort the sound out . On freeview your channel is realy quiet i had to turn it right up way over what i use other channels on . Hopeing you can fix it

  • skhowden Stephen Howden🌈💙 (@skhowden) reported

    @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

  • FatherJones1 FatherJones (@FatherJones1) reported

    @DerekWatson @Baronbigbucks @GBNEWS The sound quality generally is poor for this station on Freeview, and the picture quality and sync isn't all that, either. I get Freeview via the Larkstoke relay transmitter, which is a bit duff for all stations, but it's what we're stuck with where I live.

  • WriterAnnetta Annette Mingay (@WriterAnnetta) reported

    My complaints about the viewing and listening quality of GB NEWS seem to have fallen on ’deaf’ ears. I watch on Freeview 236 All the sounds including interviews and adverts are very quiet now I wonder if the problem is with the Freeview chanel?

  • DBauer191 Olivier Pujol (@DBauer191) reported

    @Jay_Beecher @GBNEWS @afneil Agreed. The whole production value needs dialling up. The sound issues, syncing and people talking in the background need sorting ASAP. Also watching through Freeview it's non HD, you forget how awful that non HD world was/is!
