Starview 7 with a very block picture .. why? - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

newby1976 · 06-01-11, 01:06 AM

I've just installed a new starview 7, everything is working perfectly apart from that the picture is very blocky .... my old starveiw 3 box used to give a good picture on the same line.

any help would be appreciated

Try adjusting the aspect ratio/screen format (eg see what 16:9 looks like as opposed to 4:3).

I am on 16:9 on my widescreen .... the blockyness is similar to digital tv on a bad day

check the feed and all connections,,,, i get a bit of blockiness now and again usually when its glitching and catching up with itself but very little.
check your internet speed also Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test if your paying for 10 meg you want about 9.5mbps using that test.

check all cables are good etc ..
