V6 recording stuttering and pixelated
I recorded "The Great" last evening, sat down to watch it and the image and sound stuttered and pixelated from the start. I fast-forwarded, and it was the same throughout the recording.
Also a recording at the same time "NCIS L.A." started like that but quickly became normal. No faults in our area according to VM. V6 problem or the TV system? :dunce: |
Re: V6 recording stuttering and pixelated
Usually pixelation is caused by a signal fault. What channels did you record these from?

See whether you can watch those channels live, also try pausing live TV and playing a minute or so delayed.

4hd did it again last evening, but the Sky recording was perfect.
I was able to watch 4hd live with no problems, but the recording at the same was corrupted. |
Re: V6 recording stuttering and pixelated
Ok, it seems likely that your box is faulty. Time to get on the blower

1) You will lose the recordings on ALL your boxes if you change to the new V360 platform, as the existing boxes will be replaced. 2) V360 only uses one 1TB hard drive box, the rest are diskless half size mini boxes. So you will only have one third of the recording capacity you have now. Pauseing Live TV on a box with no hard drive only gives you 10 minutes maximum. Recordings will be streamed from the main box to the minis, so poor WiFi is not an option". https://community.virginmedia.com/t5...0/td-p/4479781 And to get one you have to upgrade to Ultimate Oomph (Who the heck decides these stupid names?) |

Frankly, I don't blame you and I would keep with my V6 boxes. However, your old box needing replacement is an ideal opportunity to switch to the 360 software, as you would lose your recordings in that eventuality anyway. But again, until they have ironed out those bugs, particularly the recording ones, I won't be changing that either. |

I was trying to find out how much extra I would have to pay to get the top tier...

Re: V6 recording stuttering and pixelated
So the recording test showed that only 4hd is affected. I tried 8 other channels around the same time, and 4hd was the only one that stuttered. But it did not do it on live TV.
