Sky TV Issue

[Has]

Watching Sky TV and it seems to be suffering from very bad pixelization tonight?

I have a pvr3 Thomson Sky+ box... i know Sky has never been brilliant for quality, but tonight its just very bad.

Watching Trouble, getting really bad pixel disturbance between breaks and also during what i watch.

Anybody else seen this today?

 

[Daz]

No.

Is it all channels?

not getting this but am having a lot of "technical fault with this channel please try again later"

so maybe they are having probs at the mo?

Not all no

Seeing this on Trouble (177)

The worst channel is Trouble tho, like really obvious that the compression is sooo bad

Just checked mine, looks okay.

Either a knackered box or a misaligned dish.
Call Sky out

Tacky channels = poor bandwidth/less money spent on broadcasting.

hi mate-sometimes the LSD[thats the round part that points towards your dish can get water in which will cause disturbance to your viewing! do some of your channels start to crack up and make a kind of high pitched noise,and then perhaps just freeze?-if so it is most likely the lsd! mine used to go quite regularly[around 60-70 quid to have repaired!]-having said that i also think if you just have basic sky ,the boxes are not the best[can accumilate a lot of static] so you have to keep switching it off ,waiting 30 secs and then turning it back on!-now have sky+/hd and the thompson boxes are superb,had no probs at all!

^^^ I think you mean LNB

It could be as Griff says . Some of the less well known channels have a weaker signal .The dish might be slightly out of alignment so weaker channels will brake up especially during poor/cloudy weather . Or it could even be your LNB as coletti says . If it's accessible by yourself it's definitely not £60 -70 to fix if it is your LNB . LNB's can be bought for less than £10 .
