Blackford Hearts Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Looking for advise. BT package tv has been cancelled due to poor tv signal, and buffering / freezing of picture. The streamed channels like Netflix or Now tv were always decent. BT Broadband seems good so keeping it. what do people suggest. Virgin is not an option as not in our area. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've since reset the box and tuned it in to the Internet. Lost a few channels but gained a few in HD. The quality is absolutely brilliant.

When you go back to the factory reset its gives you option to ariel or Internet set up. I took the ariel out of the box just to make sure.

Fantastic picture quality. I’ve had so many issues I am sceptical it will continue, however if picture quality remains this good then I will be delighted.

Thanks for your help I only changed a few months ago and haven’t had any issues. Only can record 2 channels but I find it’s no big deal. Glad I could help.
