@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 🙁

@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!

@SusanHarris80 @toshtheblues I get it on freeview 236.....but had to quickly returne my TV first. However will give it a few days before I watch again while they sort the too many tech problems out. All very well investing in presenters and reporters only for the technical side to be a bit of a disaster.

@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.

@GBNEWS I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but I watched on Freeview last night and often the sound was out of synch when a person was talking. The 9:00pm show was worst hit. It may have been teething troubles & ok on other platforms. I’ll check again later to see how it looks.

@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

@GBNEWS Transmission signal on Freeview 236 still very poor, other channels ok. Defo something wrong with the sound signal - and you need to urgently add subtitles for the hard of hearing, please try a ‘ticker tape’ across the top of the screen.
