Freeview Issues Reports

    @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!

  • 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 👍🏻

  • CllrGareth CllrGareth (@CllrGareth) reported

    @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.

  • GaryNunn1955 Gary Nunn (@GaryNunn1955) reported

    @GBNEWS Why is you studio picture so poor on Freeview. I know its not HD, but neither is BBC News channel on Freeview and their picture is fine. Really looking forward to watching you, but not with such poor video. Its not my reception as video from your roving reporters is fine.

    GB News. A tv station to promote unionism, not my cup of tea. Seen it on Freeview, production quality is crap. Sound not syncrynised with pictures. Sound levels of interviewees all over the place. Sound generally much lower level than BBC1 etc.

    Can somebody please tell me the best USB thing that I can get that will play freeview tv like ITV/BBC to plug into my tv, because ITV hub is ****.

  • DomaineValescia Paul H 🐝 🇬🇧 (@DomaineValescia) reported

    @GBNEWS My problem is video. Constant pixelation and then feed drops altogether. Makes it unwatchable. Using freeview 236

    @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.

  • DBJ1970 Djsoapytitwank (@DBJ1970) reported

    @GBNEWS Zero signal on freeview in Cambridgeshire. If you can put it live on YouTube I'll be another new customer.

  • BindiLuna Luna (@BindiLuna) reported

    @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.
