Re: Could BB upgrade affect TV quality?

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?

Hey Neil,

BBC iPlayer isn't determined by how fast your connection is, but obviously the higher the speed the less buffering you will have. Regarding the 'improvements', iPlayer does have the option for low and high quality so you may have been watching the low quality version before and now your on the high.
