Re: V6: Increased Pixellation as time goes by
Had a call-out and all cured - signal strength being the issue via a failing VM-supplied link cable. Unfortunately it has now returned on a different batch of channels at the other end of the spectrum - BBC1 HD, which we're only watching at the mo for the Olympics 😞412Views0likes0CommentsV6: Increased Pixellation as time goes by
Been having this issue for a while (months) but don't watch much traditional TV anymore - just F1, Catfish, Sky News really - so have been tolerating it. Streaming is fine. We start watching something, then slowly but surely over the next 20 mins, more and more pixellation occurs, flashing in every 20 seconds or so. Once it starts, it ends in total channel loss. Recordings tank. Today was the final straw - started on Sky F1, and when that became intolerable we switched to Sky Main Event, and then to the non-HD verson of that to continue watching the race. That become intolerable about half way though so I did a full reboot, and when it returned it was fine again. I did notice though that the Sky cable connector end (not the ethernet) going into the box was hot - hotter than I would have expected - so wondering if this is the issue..? Next step if no one has any ideas is to contact Virgin directly, but that's usually a painful experience. Having read some other posts though it looks like there may be a channel issue, if all these are using similar channel frequency. Any advice ? RichSolved1.8KViews0likes15Comments
