BBC Scotland

BBC Scotland channel 108 HD

Anybody else finding the channel quality absolutely appalling as if it's SD ?

Virgin problem or BBC Scotland ?

    The PQ seems fine to me, but are you viewing an old programme whose source material is potentially being shown up by current standards?

    Can you post a picture of the PQ that you think is poor?

  • I’m exactly the same and it’s always when the football is on. It’s really shocking and I have virgin 360 and a modern tv with no other issues.

      It's when the football is on for me too. I started watching Dunfermline v Dundee utd and had to switch over, couldn't watch it.

  • The picture quality was terrible as though watching a dodgy stream. Switched over to the iplayer app on my TV and the picture was perfect.

      I’m having exactly the same issues as you, always live football, unwatchable. I have contacted VM by phone and was assured it would be fixed within 48 hours, which it wasn’t.  Have been getting nowhere with them for weeks. 

  • This is a problem for every live match on BBC Scotland. It's only a problem on Virgin Media - Sky and iPlayer are fine. Last night's match was the worst so far. Was pretty much unwatchable.

  • I don't think his mum would even recognise him from this:

      That's exactly what mine was like. Looks like a virgin problem.

    On our wavelength

    I play the game of trying to spot the pixel, some programmes are so bad its just a bunch of squares moving around the screen

      Was watching Sportscene on bbc catch up this morning and the picture was normal. Sportscene, 19.30 last night was horrendous to watch.

        Hey paulpal67, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear this.

        Has it been okay since that programme? 

        Have you noticed it on any others at all?
