    @Sonic_Sinclair @bbcmicrobot Technically it is, there's support for it in DVB. There's several channels on DVB satellite that uses it, not sure there's any on freeview. Certainly all the original services shutdown or moved to MHEG. The BBC mheg service was incredible but that's shutdown now too 🙁

    @selwynfrogit @peter151120011 @GBNEWS Oh, bugger. It’s crap on freeview.

  • MikelGunners Dave Robins (@MikelGunners) reported

    @ArsenalAndrew @GBNEWS Switched over to sky channel and picture etc perfect. Poor vision and sound on freeview

  • AB1ackSheep 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗽: (@AB1ackSheep) reported

    @SteveWithers @GBNEWS ‘Poor hd quality’? That’s the video bit rate, it seems limited to freeview I think? Virgin and Sky is in glorious HD. #GBNews #GBNewsLaunch

  • Woofh Lesley Hayes (@Woofh) reported

    @4Viewers So my Freeview only sister in law sees it and I don't. Damn!! Thank you.

  • VirtuaMcPolygon Rob Farmer (@VirtuaMcPolygon) reported

    @jonhoneyball @afneil @GBNEWS Technically it's all a bit amateur hour. Terrible size ticker bar which covers far to much screen space. Hangs around to long full size, awful font size and dodgy design. Far to dark sets. Awful levels for sound. The Freeview feed is 10db to low compared to every other channel...

  • noonereallyca13 Solo💙🖤 (@noonereallyca13) reported

    @GBNEWS great to see your on sure though Freeview service still has audio sync issues from studio feed

  • ChrisTheDJ Chris Merriman (@ChrisTheDJ) reported

    Oh and the picture quality is awful - fuzzy on Freeview, and on the wrong framerate on Sky.

  • PaulHayhurst_ Paul (@PaulHayhurst_) reported

    @GBNEWS Anybody else p*seed off with the audio sync issue on freeview. How long does it take to fix

  • man_dobro DobroMan (@man_dobro) reported

    @GBNEWS The set is way too dark, sound needs improving. The picture on Freeview C.236 is awful. Will still watch though, anything but BBC and GMB.

  • oneday1will #TeamQueen 🇬🇧 (@oneday1will) reported

    @GBNEWS I'm watching on your freeview channel. There is still a voice delay since it launched last night and every guest on, the sound quality is really poor. Sadly have to switch off for a while as its annoying to watch.
