  • 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

    @GBNEWS The FREEVIEW channel makes the internet circa 1994 look Hi-Def in comparison. Garbage content, garbage bit-rate, garbage channel.

  • Phantaxus Phantaxus 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 (@Phantaxus) reported

    @mattthr The aerial to play Freeview might be an issue. I went with the Nvidia Shield however that is not cheap but does have expandable storage

  • DaveMor16686271 Dave Morrison (@DaveMor16686271) reported

    @afneil I was looking forward to GB news but if you think I’m going watch a station with just sd picture on Freeview. If I’m not good enough for hd on Freeview I’m not bothering. Your picture quality is crap.

  • Ross3330 Ross Stewart (@Ross3330) reported

    I’m watching on Freeview 236, wonder if different on other platforms? The video synch and sound quality can be so bad I can’t watch the screen. It is your priority issue to fix.

    @GBNEWS Just to let you Guy's know. I've just switched on to 1 o'clock news and you gave a technical problem with your sound. It's not in sync. I'm on channel 236 on Freeview.

  • cue_em Howard Pitfield (@cue_em) reported

    @GBNEWS lip-synch problems on Freeview...sound is way out. Can't watch until this is fixed.

  • dvarets Alexei Romanov (@dvarets) reported

    @GuidoFawkes Poor picture quality on Freeview is a bit of a let down.

  • JackyCwiero Jacky Cwiero (@JackyCwiero) reported

    @KEdge23 Obviously there are some technical issues, the sound for one is pretty diabolical (watching on Freeview 236) have to turn the TV volume right up.

  • thejohnfleming John Fleming (@thejohnfleming) reported

    1325. On a whim I looked at #GBNEWS on Freeview. The studio sound is still out-of-sync with the pictures. Oddly no problem on the ads. Amateur time.

  • seabros Steve Seabrooke (@seabros) reported

    @GBNEWS Good luck with the new channel. Two points need sorting out asap. The sound volume on Freeview is very low compared to other channels and the picture quality in studio is poor. Teething problems I'm sure.
