TV pixelation problems

I have been having nothing but trouble with my TV service pixelating on all channels. It varies in how often and when it happens, so very intermittent in nature.

had first engineer visit Wednesday 13 Nov, he checked all cables and changed my box, he also changed my connection at the cabinet on the street. However still continued. So narrowed down to a network issue and raised a ticket…Time went by and stated fix time 21 Nov, however messaged to say fixed 19th Nov.

you guessed it I still had TV problems, albeit broadband was now stable. Anyway called again and second engineer arrived 20th Nov. Brought him up to spread, so he tested my signal and it was good then going silly. He then said he would test it at the cabinet and if it’s doing it there, all is good from the cabinet to the box.

Result was problem at cabinet too, so another network ticket raised and. Escalated to networks for fixing. Next day status showed as TV good, so called VM yet again at 8am only to get the call stopped!!!! Phoned again and instead of trying to resolve my problem VM India call centre tried selling me a new contract as mine expires shortly. Are they real - I have an unresolved issue, so why in gods name would I commit to another 18month contract. So that call ended !!!

left it a few hours and called again, going through the problem and where I’m up to with the ongoing lack of service. Anyway engineer booked again for today between 4&7, so see what he comes up with that others haven’t so far.

TBH I’m happing to kick VM into touch and use Freeview box when my contract expires…So after almost 10 days without a satisfactory TV service, I’m no further forward than I was when I called in the problem on 12th Nov.😡😡😡😡😡

Hey JohnM007, thank you for reaching out and I am so sorry to hear you are having some issues with your TV services, also a very warm welcome to the community.

How did the engineer visit go, did they manage to fix this at all?

Hi, once again a waste of time sending technicians, as they are very limited in their skills and ability to resolve any complex networks issue. I’m completely exhausted and given up on trying to communicate a simple ongoing issue, with farmed out Indian call centres. So I’ve thrown the towel in and will look at sky upon my renewal next year….You can only bang your head against the wall until it hurts too much and you give up. So to summarise I will allow 8 weeks and if the problem is not resolved, seek a letter of deadlock and take it from there !!!!

Thanks for coming back to us @JohnM007, and we're sorry that this is still ongoing.

Check out the envelope in the top right hand corner for a private message from me and I'll seek to take on your case and seek to have this resolved as soon as possible for you.

Thanks,
