Sky Sports pixelation

Most sky sports channels badly pixallating, they're completely unwatchable. Have rebooted box but no difference. Going to miss the darts now! Well **bleep** off. This has happened occasionally for a second or two, but this is constant. Going to Sky when my contract ends next month.

    Pixellated pictures on live TV are often the sign of a signal fault. If you've rebooted your box once, then there's likely a fault somewhere, so this will need VM to intervene. You're likely to need either an engineer visit or a replacement box, depending on what VM's remote diagnostics turn up.

    First check the automated faults line for any existing issues in your area that could be the cause: 0800 5610061. If nothing's reported, assume VM don't know about your fault and ideally you'll need to call them.

    150 from a VM phone, 0345 4541111 from any other phone - choose the options for "I have a fault with my TV service". Alternatively you can wait on here for staff to respond, which may take a day or so.

    We are aware of an issue where some customers were experiencing pixelation on various sports channels, not limited to Sky Sports but this was resolved on Friday.
