Should the app play ultra HD recordings?
Hi, I recorded some F1 yesterday and watched half of it (recorded on my main box, watched on my mini box). I now want to watch the second half on my iPhone. The app can see the recordings, and tries to start the stream but fails. I don’t think I’ve ever managed to successfully stream a UHD recording. Is this something supported by the app? screenshots:Re: Internet unreliable while no tv box plugged in
No, i removed the unused cable. I originally had it connected without the splitter, and had these issues so I added the splitter back in case it had some components that reduced the power on each half. I'll check the connections again. I'm not at home now, so can't check the signal levels until later. Thanks for the help though JamesInternet unreliable while no tv box plugged in
Hi. We’re having decorating work done at the moment and the room has been cleared of furniture. However, I still need internet so the router is still there. The connection is unreliable and the logs on the router imply the signal is too strong. It works fine then suddenly hangs and I get a blinking green light, or occasionally a blinking red one. Usually there’s a splitter with both the hub and a V360 box attached. Because I’ve taken the TV box away, one half of the splitter is unterminated. Is this an issue and if so, is there anything I can do to make things reliable in the meantime (a few weeks). JamesInstalling virgin media cable sockets?
Hi, I already have Virgin Media installed with a VM socket on the external wall where the cable comes in (the type where the cable attaches to the bottom of the socket). The TV is on the other side of the room, so at the moment, the cable from this socket goes between a gap in the floor boards, under the floor and up a hole from an old radiator install. We're getting a new floor installed in that room which will be glued down, which means no more gaps and radiator holes, but I don't want a cable trailing across the room. I'd therefore like to put cable under the floor "properly", with a socket at each end of the room rather than holes in the walls with wire poking out. I understand VM have their own cabling, and over 20 years of being a customer means I have no shortage of such cabling in the house. So what I'm asking, is if there would be any issues with making some of that cabling cross the room, terminating on sockets with F-type connectors, and then using short cables to connect it to the VM wall socket and hub. A diagram should make this clear: Would an electrician be okay to make those cable-to-socket connections? Ideally they'd be nice standard square sockets, not the giant VM ones. James
