  • KAK_Tweets Krys Cross! Cha Cha Real Smooth (@KAK_Tweets) reported from Treorchy, Wales

    @flickeringflxme I’ve never seen that one myself but somehow my granddad ended up buying it for himself which was made weirder by the fact he only had freeview so didn’t even have Disney Channel. He loved it though

  • IanCleverly06 Ian Cleverly (@IanCleverly06) reported from Trethomas, Wales

    Just an FYI @DMAX_UK but you've just showed Series 3 Ep10 of #Archer, when the Freeview EPG (and your website) has you showing the correct in order Ep 9. It has the same down for the Sat midnight showing (ie Ep 10 is listed in you'll show Ep 9)

  • dave_maydew Dave Maydew MW0DCM (@dave_maydew) reported from Tonyrefail, Wales

    @FreeviewAdvice @arqiva More disappointed, but I suppose I've got to accept it, after totally cutting the cord. I do have a tech question though. I'm using the Plex Media Server for Freeview, but the supplied EPG by Gracenote is terrible, is there a XML file of the one you use on the Android app

    @kieranjameen Kieran cancel it, my sister did with hers and hasn't missed it, you can buy internet freeview boxes now and you can download all the apps onto them, no monthly payments then, just for what you choose to, much cheaper

  • robotmaths RobotMaths (@robotmaths) reported

    Oh dear. GB News is having problems with their microphones. (cheap jibe: they appear to be working). No, Neil Oliver faded out mid gammon diatribe. Most of all, everyone looks REALLY embarrassed to be there. They keep referring to "mainstream media" as if they weren't on FREEVIEW

  • femme_uk Georgina 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇬🇧💜🤍💚 (@femme_uk) reported

    Watching @GBNEWS - terrible picture on Freeview and sound out of synch.

  • Endoxa66 Endoxa (@Endoxa66) reported

    @GBNEWS just watching the launch on Freeview. Picture quality awful and dialogue out of sync. Not a great first impression. Come on, up your game!

  • twitdwood David Woodley (@twitdwood) reported

    @GBNEWS still sync problems on Freeview

  • BrexitBlocklist Brexit Blocklist #FBPPR #FBPE 🇪🇺🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ (@BrexitBlocklist) reported

    @almostoneword @GBNEWS They’re using a freeview muxed channel, sharing a single SD channels bandwidth with other stations to save money. The audio is also terrible and out of sync.

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

  • Davey56Jones David Jones (@Davey56Jones) reported

  • DrewDavies68 Drew Davies ™ (@DrewDavies68) reported

    @BorisJohnson_MP I just switched on GBnews on freeview and Neils mouth is out of sync with his voice. Microphones not working. And a set that looks like a portacabin toilet. Well that’s a good start. It’s antiques road show for me

  • wubands2 wubands2 (@wubands2) reported

    @tomhfh 1) Make sure your microphone works... 2) we also can hear the production team chatting on the iPad feed..... while Neil Olivers Mike failed.... 3) Freeview 236 sound not in sync with video.... 4) iPad feed is 30seconds behind live, time wrong 50% of time! Not 1 issue..4+
