TV BOX PIXELATION

Message 3 of 3

We have received two new boxes from Talk talk over the last couple of weeks.

Previous box was really old and didn’t support things like itv x.

The first box (YouView) was causing channels through the aerial to be really badly pixelated. Internet channels were fine.

 

Talk talk sent us another box,(netgem)and we have still have the same issue. 

It seems to start off not too bad and then just increasingly get worse over the following days. 
Any ideas what could be causing this ? When the aerial has no issues with the old box.

What happens if you bypass the box and plug the aerial directly into the TV.

 

Do the channels break up?

 

What channels are affected? The main 5 or only some of the, for want of a term, the lesser ones?

 

For it to be happening on both new boxes would suggest an aerial issue, even though this may not have been apparent with your older box. Do you still have the old box you can hook up again?

 

Perform a retune on your TV and old Box if possible.

 

Do you get all the channels tuned in?
