Any heads up as to what the problem is ?


Basically, our streams are broadcast as 'bits' rather than a whole 'package'. Certain 'bits' weren't getting through to their destination and casuing this weird vertical lined images and random colours glitch. Found the problem and now our engineers are working their way through the fix 🙂 Hope this is a good enough explanation lol.

So I'm getting the exact same problem whilst watching Football, 6 or 7 times during the West Brom v Liverpool game last weekend.

 

Just hoping someone from the organisation reads your post, as it's more likely to be a problem at their end than ours I would say

I had the same problem, and it's not just with football. Any of the live streams seem to have the same issue. I wonder if it is a DRM issue? The West Borm v Liverpool game was very bad though. I could never quite time a photo from my phone, so well done....

 

That said, this needs resolving.

Utter rubbish for a reply. I will explain why. Chelsea vs Liverpool, Sunday 6th May 2018, the 2nd Half was practically unwatchable due to the picture breaking up into multi-coloured lines. This is no longer acceptable. I pay good money for my weekly sports passes... I would expect to be able to at least watch the channel.

@Tony-D Any progress with this? It's been an issue since December and still receiving it today while watching Newcastle vs Spurs on Sky Sports Main Event. 

I even just checked for updates on the box and it has none. It's using the most current update.
