Awful picture quanlity on V+
 
When is the quanlity of the channels going to improve, as I speak I'm watching Sky Sports 1 & it looks like something what has been taken on a mobile phone!! (other channels are the same). Virgin must be aware of this as many people has mentioned it. I love the V+ & really want to stay with them, but if the quanlity doesn't improve soon I will have to reconsider as my 30 days are coming to a end. Has anyone had a clear answer from Virgin??

My V+ picture quality is great on all channels so problem must be specific to certain areas (I'm in Letchworth/Hertfordshire) or certain boxes (I have a week old black VM badged box - I know it was new because I watched the engineer unpack it).
Apart from a few VOD hiccups, I'm more than happy with my VIP 'upgrade' - V+ box/old STB in another room/Sky Sports (already had movies)/10Mb broadband (had 4Mb before), and costing me less per month than before!!
:)

Same boat here - I have posted a few times about this. The quality is very, very bad. I love the V+ ,VOD, second box and the 10mb so there's no way I'm crawling back to Sky but there's no way I'm paying £85 a month for this quality of picture.

Engineer is coming out tomorrow but I still say it's not a problem with the box as other channels are OK.

(New black V+ Box. Ex NTL Manchester)

yep same here engineer out on tuesday yet again had one out this week for the same problem changed the box then but like you said there is no way a box issue as others are reporting theirs ok must be a regional issue.

im ex ntl in cardiff what about others having probs?

Glad it's not just my eyes playing tricks then. Looks like it seems to be ex-NTL as ex Telewest are loving the quality.

Re: Awful picture quanlity on V+
 
i know one thing for sure is this isnt sorted asap i will be thinking of sky and thats not taking into account getting the basics back if i do.
i can live with the fact of not getting these on vm but bad picture quality i cannot live with.
