360 box quality
I’m a new customer and must say I’m really disappointed with the 360 box so far specifically with clarity of HD channels. I’ve checked the connected hdmi cables, wi-fi, and played with my tv settings for four days straight for hours as it’s bugging me that much.
The clarity varies wildly via different channels that I have to adjust settings constantly which makes viewing unenjoyable. I’m still within my cancellation period and very willing to cancel and just go with Sky unless this improves. I’ve set my resolution to 1080i and let my tv do the upscaling which has helped a little.
I can get a clear view for example with channel 1-5 but still have some variance where I need to adjust sharpness slightly. Sky Sports I’ve managed to improve and looks fine with live which I’m happy with, but movie channels are AWFUL:
I watched a few movies where the best I could get it was having to bump up sharpness to level 35 out of 50 to get anywhere near acceptable clarity on HD for movies made in 2023 which is ridiculous (no overly sharp image and pixelating on the image as you would get with putting it too high). I usually have all post processing off and sharpness much lower to get the best image as experts advise, but I’ve tried everything in between.
Are there any other tips to improve quality or is this the best Virgin gets?!
