sky chanels on telewest

Can anyone help me i seem to find that the sky channels are very bad in picture quality.

1.sky sports seems to go in and out of focus which is really disrupting.
2.get the same problem with skymovies 1 as well
3. sky news seems terrible.
4.sky one seems 10 times crisper than any of the others.

The main one is the in and out of focus thing it gets right on my boobs.

Please help me cause ive phoned telewest and seem to get the same dopey bird i dont know how but i do and all she keeps repeating is "so your screen keeps frezzing and breaking up" NOooooooooooooooooo!

It isn't coincidence it happens on the Sky channels. You are absolutely right, it is not on, but like most you blame Telewest. Think again. Who has the most to gain when disgruntled customers see better quality on a Sky platform.

I agree with cable monkey here, I see a lot of sh1te transmitted by sky, somtimes these can be as low as 2/3 Mb/s.

with the bandwidth being that low sometimes the headend equipment cannot rectify the errors.
