HD channels pixelating

[Henfordh1]

On 21/10/2022 I had a text message from Virgin stating that my services may be disrupted due to essential maintance works. Since then I have had issues with all HD channels pixelating, they are unwatchable. I have rebooted my box and checked all connections. 

It is not the TV set as it all worked fine upto the 21/10/2022.

Any suggestions?

Update. It is 9.30pm and most channels are now distorted especially the news channels - Sky, BBC etc

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.
