Hi,

Until recently I was on a package having Phone=S, Broadband=L and TV=XL which gave a few quirks related to TV performance. BBC iPlayer would fail to open which could only be fixed by rebooting the STB and scene changes with a lot of new information resulted in pixelation of the picture.

I have just taken up a VirginMedia offer for Phone=XL, Broadband=XL and TV=XL for £58/month and BBC iPlayer opens flawlessly and the picture pixelation no longer occurs. I get the impression that overall picture quality is sharper (more detailed?) than before too.

As the TV part of the package was, supposedly, unchanged by the upgrade can anyone explain why I might be seeing these improvements to my service?

Regards,
Neil Darlow
