Sky 1 problems?

[albone]

Has anyone else noticed that for a couple of days now Sky 1 has had what can only be described as the jitter's? Most annoying when trying to watch a film, when the sound glitches and the picture stutters.

NTL will probably blame this problem on the feed they receive from Sky - Sky will probably blame NTL.

Does anyone from NTL want to comment ?.

Is it just Sky 1 you have a problem with albone ?.

Anyone with Sky Digital can check the state of the incoming signal to NTL. The cable feed of Sky One doesn't appear on the Sky EPG, but can be picked up on a digibox using the 'add channels' facility.

Good information Tristan - so who has Sky Digital and is willing to check the signal for us

I had this on one of the movie channels whilst watching Dr Dolittle 2 downstairs.
Yet my 2nd stb upstairs played the film perfectly.

It was only that channel that we had problems with. But my daughter says it's ok now, so maybe it was just a glitch.

Typical sort of comment which is making people like Grum leave. Comments after someone has cocked up/talked rubbish are fine, but here you have no grounds.


There was a problem over the last two days which did cause some periods of glitching on the Langley platform. Some kit has been kicked and told to buck up its ideas.

The ntl feed of Sky One comes via a fibre feed from Sky. The sat feed you can watch does not tell you if there is a problem with the feed to ntl.

Thanks Proppinupthebar, thats useful info. as I have said it does seem to be rectified but I noticed someone else has a simular thread from the region of london I am not sure I can do it but I will point him in this direction as it may well answer his query too.

London isn't fed from Langley, so I cant comment on that.

It wasn't me

Not defending the mods here, but Jamie did say probably, so he hasn't said who's cocked up.

So just chill out and stop jumping down people's throats.

I don't think I jumped down anyones throat! I just voiced my opinion on an unnecessary comment made by a MOD.


Who died and left you in charge ?

'fraid I have to agree with Proppin'. I'm not saying NTL are blameless, or that the sun shines out of their collective behinds, but I think we do need some fairness and objectiveness round here. The moderators should take a lead on this.

Sometimes if genuinely isn't NTL's fault.

So you misinterpret someone's comment which may seem innocent? Thats the big drawback to forums, you cannot see someones facial expression when they post something.

The best thing in some circumstances is not reply to someone's comment and situations like this won't arise.

Maybe we need a tongue in cheek smilie.

Agreed, don't reply to anything else I post and there will be no further situations.
