I moved into a house at the begining of this year and had Virgin Media connected and I'm having issues with picture quality.
I'm viewing on a Samsung 4K UHD TV, which provides a great picture from other sources (e.g. an Nvidia Shield TV box) but the quality I'm seeing from the VM 360 box is very disappointing. To be honest it looks like SD rather than HD video.
As a comparison here are some pics of the Sky F1 channel, from my VM 360 box and from a recording played on my Shield TV, both in theory at least, being 1080p. There's some sharpening going on when I take the photos, so the the VM 360 box images look more defined than they actually are, with blobiness replacing the actual fuzziness of the image.
What's striking to me is that there are clear, very strong compression artifacts around the high contrast parts of the images for example to the sides of the HUD on the left of the screen, showing the driver data and between the rows of info on it.
BTW... this applies to all channels, not just the Sky Sports ones, with the exception of the BT Sport 4 channel which looks pretty crisp.
Anyone have some suggestions as to why this might be, as surely this isn't the expected picture quality?
