It’s a 55” Samsung 4K TV
In terms of quality I’m comparing to Freeview and Now TV I don’t expect SD to look particularly amazing but considering how badly compressed some of Freeview is i didn’t expect see worse from virgin, a premium paid service.
It’s not picture breakup it’s just as if some channels are an extremely low bit rate. BBC News looks better however it shows up more when there’s quite a bit of movement on screen.
BBC News would look better from the Freeview signal and Comedy Central streaming on Now TV.
Some other channels I’ve noticed are quite bad are Sky News and CNBC, ITV HD isn’t great either, channel 5 on the other hand looks crisp.
I must stress the picture is not terrible it’s just looking inferior to Freeview and now tv, I’ve previously used a sky box on this TV too and not had these issues.
From looking around on this community forum I’m not the only person disappointed with the tv quality so trying to workout is it signal issues, 360 software issues or just simply Virgin using high compression.
It was a self install which is why I’m trying to find out if “good” on the signal diagnostics is the highest or is there “very good” and “excellent”
Maybe now I’ve got a splitter fitted from my broadband only set up I need my signal strength increased.
