Poor Picture Quality on ITV3
 

Watched a few programs on ITV3 over the weekend & the picture quality through my V+HD box was terrible. The picture kept breaking up & pixallating ( not sure if I've spelt that right but I'm sure you know what I mean! ).

Switched to the Freeview built into my TV & the picture was much better.

The picture quailty on ITV3 has never been brilliant especially on older programs but I have never seen it this bad.

Any body else had the same problem or should I call VM support?

Seems ok here now.

Re: Poor Picture Quality on ITV3
 

Yes, i've had the pixelating problem on ITV 3, maybe it's because you have the Samsung V+HD STB which in my opinion has inferior picture quality at upscaling Standard-definition TV when compared to the Scientific Atlanta V+HD STB.

I have the Samsung too, no problems here.

no problem at VM towers either. The OP is fed from the same RHE (Regional Headend) as Mersey70 too.

If probs persist then I recomment a call to Support for the OP.

It's funny, I noticed exactly the same thing on ITV3 last night. No problem with any other channels though. Not enough of a problem to completely ruin watching but enough to be annoying. Unfortunatly I've not watched ITV3 in ages so can't say if it happens often or not.

Will keep a closer eye on it in future.

May have been a glitch. What general area are you in? :)

Re: Poor Picture Quality on ITV3
 

I'm in Cambridgeshire. Not too worried about it though as it wasn't a problem on other channels. If it does become a big problem I'll call up support. :-)

Post on here too if you can. If I'm able to, then I can do some platform checks. :)

ITV3 hasn't been brilliant here of late either (Ipswich)

Re: Poor Picture Quality on ITV3
 

I'm in Sale, Cheshire.

You mention the OP, sorry if this is obvious to others but what does it stand for?

Its not been good in Winchester for a while now.

Re: Poor Picture Quality on ITV3
 

Thanks all, will keep an eye on this. Some picture quality could be down to the source material though.

Same poor quality here (Sale, Manchester). I was watching Sherlock Holmes, the scene was foggy London, and was pixallating (spelling borrowed from PC49) very badly.
