Hi

Just after some help

Any help or advice would be appreciated

      It was SD but I was talking to VM chat and they advised I update to hd which is better but picture is still a little blurred 

      I'm thinking I need an engineer

      I have just bought a new TV 65 inch so appreciate needing hd but even now with hd it's not great

    Depends what issue it is you have. And which channel(s) are affected - there's 11 Sky Sports channels, all with SD & HD versions.

    Pixellation is a signal fault, but trying to view SD channels (480/576) on a UHD (2160) screen is never going to end well. Perhaps post a picture of the problem you have, to this forum thread.

      thanks for the reply I spoke with VM last night and they advised HD  will sort it 

      There is a fault in my area but it's something to do with itv menu  so not sure it would effect sports channel as all other channels seem ok

        Hi Mech45 

        Welcome back to the community forums 

        Sorry to hear of your picture issues with the Sky Sports channels. 
        I'm presuming your 65inch new TV is all signing and dancing? There is a limit to upscaling which is what the TV will do to make the picture fit the full screen, which can cause some blurriness. 

         

        Is your TV set top automatic upscaling on the resolution? 
        Any issues at all on other HD channels such as BBC or TNT sports (if you have it)?

  • Just an update I have a engineer visit tomorrow will update with the out come if sorted
