Re: Increasing levels of pixelation over time
When I follow that link it wants to reset my hub - i.e. factory reset it - and thereby losing all the well established set-up.. The broadband is fine, it's the TV that has issues. No TV cabling has moved during the period it has deteriorated - nothing has changed or moved. The service checker says nothing is wrong in our area. We've had this Virgin box for many years - at least seven looking at old photos. And that's old for tech these days...845Views0likes6CommentsIncreasing levels of pixelation over time
We used to get occasional pixelation and sound breakup on the higher channels. Lower, more mainstream channels were OK. However the problem is getting worse gradually spreading to the more used channels such as the BBC, ITV2 etc. I don't know if it is the elderly Tivo box, or a general deterioration in the ancient supply cabling in the street (predates NTL!). Either way, it's getting worse. Anything I can do or do we need a new Tivo box?946Views0likes8CommentsRe: Broadband speed keeps dropping down
Just before rejigging the neatly wired system to change modes, I switched everything off (Hub, router etc.) and waited a minute or so. Then powered everything back on and after the required five minutes for everything to settle, it's back up the correct speed again. Let's see for how long...668Views0likes0CommentsBroadband speed keeps dropping down
I pay for a broadband speed of 350Mbps, sometimes it's 360Mbps but speed test regularly reports a speed of only 90Mbps. The latitude and longditude reported jumps to random location a mile or so away as well. It works fine and connection isn't the issue - restarting the router does not help. I'm connected by ethernet to the hub so it's definately the external virgin side of the connection at fault. What can I do?
