- - SD : CH105 on VM (https://www.cableforum.uk/board/showthread.php?t=33684409)

Any reason why I am noticing the occasion intermittent glitch while watching CH105?

I see a slight glitch on screen together with a loss of sound for a split second.

I have used the SD prefix here even though I am using an HD STB using scart as I don't yet have HD TV

No other channels are affected.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the testing for the CH105 + 1

It's probably a signal problem. You'd need to report it to the VM faults team.

It's to stop people watching Big Brother.

Would that require a tech visit you think? as it's funny how the other channels are okay.

It would need a tech. Probably some other channels are affected too, but you don't watch them.

Meanwhile, why not watch 5HD instead? You'll get a better picture even on your SDTV.

But I have it connected with a scart and not an HDMI cable, will that matter?

I have heard that if it's ok at the time theres nothing they can do, that's why I am trying to record the issue which I now have on DVD.

I tried CH150 which is the HD channel and it sounds and looks much better, and that is with it connected with a scart.

Now it will be interesting to see if the initial issue remains.

I will wait and see if I find that this may have fixed the issue as I don't really want a tech coming to possibly muck up the frequencies if I just use the HD channel like you have said then that should be fine.

Thanks for that advice on using the HD channel instead.

There is a issue with Ch5 but its at there end its a known fault .Ch5 are working on it .We get poor pixalation and freezing and every so often the sound goes :)

Are you using SD or HD for CH5?
