    @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 🙁

    @Jollyanna7 @GBNEWS Thank you Johnny, I have Freeview Play, I will check it out. Its mainly live TV where the problem lies. I hope they will get them eventually I suppose it all costs money

  • richard__webb Richard Webb (@richard__webb) reported from Saint Annes on the Sea, England

    @GBNEWS i was so looking forward to it. But… on freeview the picture quality is really poor, sound is out of sync, and just feels like the sets are dark and badly lit. Took my focus away from listening to whats being projected. #GBNews

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

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

  • DrewDavies68 Drew Davies ™ (@DrewDavies68) reported

    @BorisJohnson_MP I just switched on GBnews on freeview and Neils mouth is out of sync with his voice. Microphones not working. And a set that looks like a portacabin toilet. Well that’s a good start. It’s antiques road show for me

  • trashbagorange Chris Orange (@trashbagorange) reported

    @GBNEWS great intro show - had to switch to streaming though - as audio video sync was awful on freeview. Hope u can get that sorted soon. Sound start tho - keep it up! @GBNEWS @afneil

  • 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

  • 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.
