  • 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

  • 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)

    Worst picture quality for new channel @GBNEWS on #Freeview it’s 2021 not 1942! #GBNews

  • katrina1_ Katrina (@katrina1_) reported

    Sort the picture out on Freeview @GBNEWS bloody awful .. also the lips are out of sync when they are speaking

  • MJKN1GHT Michael Knight (@MJKN1GHT) reported

    @afneil @GBNEWS watching initial broadcast on Freeview 236 very poor screen image as SD, worth looking at streaming live on YouTube in HD otherwise poor experience for large audience. I have same issue with Sky on Freeview and they fortunately provide alternative on YouTube 👍

  • adejacobsdj ▶️Ade Jacobs◀️ 📻 (@adejacobsdj) reported

    Andrrew Neil looks like he is streaming on You Tube at 360p watching via Freeview! #GBNews the picture quality is awful

  • wubands2 wubands2 (@wubands2) reported

    @HTScotPol 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 gremlins

  • Janela_X Jane Lax - proud of Scotland, SNP are not Scotland (@Janela_X) reported

    @LmdeeleyLorna Yep was a problem on freeview but sorted now.

  • Davey56Jones David Jones (@Davey56Jones) reported

    @Jan_Leeming Have you found it yet I am on Freeview 236 no problem You might have to do an update

  • DT100 Craig Williams (@DT100) reported

    GB News is like one of those local channel 7 Freeview stations. Awful sound, cameras out of focus, and pretty sure one of the cameras is in 25p rather than 50i. I was involved in the launch of a TV channel, and we nailed it from day one. And as for the content…! #gbnews

  • andyfalc Captain Andy ن (@andyfalc) reported

    @GBNEWS You are all very welcome. I'm watching on Freeview and the sound is very low, just a teething problem I hope

  • ByrneBarry Barry Byrne (@ByrneBarry) reported

    @At7dwarfs Not experiencing any problem like that. Set up a re tune on Freeview, should only take a few mins.
