Random pixelisation & you are looking at a signal issue. Banded pixelisation, stalling of the picture or sound momentarily is more likely a noise ingress or interference problem. The latter is far harder to detect. Do these problems always occur at the same time of day?

Hi 

Yes everytime we watch something recorded on channel 4 it does it a few times within the hour of the show,

But do you watch those programmes at the same sort of time of day?

nodrogd has suggested in post#11 that this could be a noise issue, that tends to be time-specific, you've been asked twice now whether this problem is exhibiting at particular times - I don't see an answer to that question which could well help with resolving this.

Otherwise, the staff team should be along in a couple of days.

Hi RocksterSMB, 

Thank you for posting to the community. 

I am very sorry to hear you are experiencing issues when watching Channel 4 HD. 

Do you have more than one box with us? If so, is this happening across all of them? 

Thanks, 

 

Nat

Thank you for your reply and for confirming. 

Can you please try swapping your HDMi cable and if possible the HDMi port to see if this help? 

Also, can you check that all other cables are secure and without damage? 

Thanks, 

 

Nat

Hi 

It's still doing it
