Lores BBC One only?

Heya,

Have a weird issue here.. our Stream box has been working perfectly until a few days ago when BBC One started displaying in a kind of lores way. It also maybe looks like the frame rate is halved and there is a flicker to the image. My thinking is I'm only being streamed one half of the interlaced signal..?

I've tried a soft reset, a hard reset, checked cabling even though every other channel and streaming app works fine.. just had an engineer around who went through the motions etc and changed the Stream box to another one, but same issue?

So... surely, surely for some reason the BBC One stream being sent solely to my home? is faulty in some way? Are the streams being sent to my IP exclusive to me?!

Very weird anyways... and I'm now at a loss. Engineer said he'd chat to his main 'TV' guy, but I'm pretty tech savvy n this is an odd one...

Any possible insights welcome!!

    Have you checked the other BBC One  channels to see if they are the same?

    There are additional BBC One streams on channels 861 (London), 862 (Scotland), 863  (Northern Ireland) and 864 (Wales)  There's also possibly another alternative regional variation (only in select locations) on 858.

    (There's also an additional BBC2 stream on 865)
