Does anyone know if the hardware used by Virgin is significantly more advanced than Sky/the majority of channels on the Astra 2 platform? Like for like Virgin seem to have lower bitrates in most cases and my personal experience isn’t that I find the quality lower. Although some third parties used fixes bitrate on satellite.

Is the kit used in 2017 for MPEG4 much more efficient than 5/10 years ago?
