    @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 🙁

  • Bound4Hollywood Humvat Virit (@Bound4Hollywood) reported

    @GBNEWS I just tried 515 on Sky and it's an HD channel, which means I, as a satellite dish customer, have to pay extra for. Tried retuning the freeview channels and there was no 216. Conspiracy theory anyone?

  • timrollpickerin Tim Roll-Pickering (@timrollpickerin) reported

    @benarchibald @GBNEWS The sync seems fine on Freeview. It's the poor microphones that are the biggest problem.

  • Mickste92347993 Mickster 🇮🇹🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🍷🎶 (@Mickste92347993) reported

    @Ashleyrose66 @EamonnHolmes @GBNEWS Watching in FHD on IPTV provider Top quality picture. Sound issues at their end Standard definition on Freeview is pants

  • k4bladesagain cheekfulloftongue🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (@k4bladesagain) reported

    @Patricia344130 For me, 1) Image seems a bit grainy on Freeview, isn't it in HD. 2) a few sound issues. 3) don't like the dark set used by @afneil it just looked very dated / amateurish. But it's the content that matters and so far so good. The teething issues will get sorted.

  • AbsenceMalice Cheap Jibes (@AbsenceMalice) reported

    @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.

  • BotCheck9 BotCheck (@BotCheck9) reported

    @GBNEWS My old VHSs are better quality than your freeview channel. Have you considered upgrading to their SD service?

  • eufactsexplain Centre Right Democrat (@eufactsexplain) reported

    @GBNEWS @afneil Not available on Freeview in South Glos: “No signal or signal too weak” message given

  • climpy1980 Donna Trump (@climpy1980) reported

    @JohnHopkins_ @StopFundingHate So they still took it if that's the case. Are we going to cancel sky, virgin and Freeview companies for giving them a channel for their platform.

  • SnowAndBeach Grant Rivers 🇬🇧 (@SnowAndBeach) reported

    @JoeChapman87 @GBNEWS Freeview 236, you may need to retune your tv. A few teething problems as it only began airing tonight but it’s a different take on news which is something I was looking for. #GBNews

  • TrevHead10 Trevor Howden (@TrevHead10) reported

    @vipeventdriver @GBNEWS While the picture and sound quality was a bit low, freeview west Yorkshire had no sync issues. I wonder if someone to do with the London transmission doesn't want GB news on air
