    One bad thing about #Freeview TV is all the begging adverts. Ignore em all, ain't contributing towards inflated staff salaries. Plenty of local little charities.

  • RoboJ1M RoboJ1M (@RoboJ1M) reported from Portsmouth, England

    @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 🙁

  • stucordy Stuart Cordy (@stucordy) reported

    @GBNEWS Hi guys. Definite technical issues at the moment. Audio and video not in sync with varying degrees of separation and picture quality is not as expected on Freeview. External guest audio is almost inaudible. Just trying to help. You’ll get there 👍

  • Woofh Lesley Hayes (@Woofh) reported

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

  • noonereallyca13 Solo💙🖤 (@noonereallyca13) reported

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

  • garybibby Gary Bibby (@garybibby) reported

    @JasonManford If she’s watching a sky or freeview box through it try a new HDMI lead. I’ve seen that issue before. If it’s doing it from it’s built in Tuner then it’s likely the panel and is for repair/replace.

  • DaveMor16686271 Dave Morrison (@DaveMor16686271) reported

    @PPMurphy @GBNEWS Plus the picture quality is crap on Freeview

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

  • CommonSense_FT Sam #CSFT 52% 96.5% (@CommonSense_FT) reported

    @GBNEWS Agghh! Watched the launch last night,then signal breaks down (Freeview),retune & the channel disappears! Retune twice more eventually got you back, but at 11.55pm. 😔 Same thing happened this morning & you’ve disappeared again. Mendip transmitter, I believe. Frustrating!

  • RadiumMan MrBav (@RadiumMan) reported

    @GBNEWS I don't know if you have noticed, but your Freeview channel, available earlier today, seems to have gone down.

  • Barry35245095 Barry👍👮🇬🇧😃🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😃🇬🇧👮👍 (@Barry35245095) reported

    @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.

  • PaulHayhurst_ Paul (@PaulHayhurst_) reported
