Tiger_Africa Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Hi All, Is it just me, or has Fox Digital reception gone pretty bad over the last week ? I have noticed that the pic is quite jagged at times, and in fact when playing back something from the IQ, the rotating "play" icon on the screen is jagged... Anyone else notice this, or is there something I can do ? As an fyi, I have a Pioneer 508XDA plasma, connected to the IQ box via component (YUV) cables. Thanks
DrP Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 in fact when playing back something from the IQ, the rotating "play" icon on the screen is jagged... That should be enough to tell you that the problem is at your end, not with Foxtel's transmission. Something might be crook with your IQ or you might have some sort of edge enhancement going on in your display. Check all cabling blah blah blah....

Tiger_Africa Posted June 7, 2008 Author Posted June 7, 2008 yep way i have my set to u know when it in widesceen show it show in the info box Just spoke with Foxtel and they have verified all my configs are good. If they send a tech out, and it's not their IQ box, then it's a $75 hit !! So wanna try prove what the prob is first .... HELP !

ShadySoldier Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Have Foxtel reduced the bitrates on normal channels to squeeze the HD channels in?
Brad.. Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Have Foxtel reduced the bitrates on normal channels to squeeze the HD channels in? not sure dont know they are there no good to us who iq1
peterca Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Have Foxtel reduced the bitrates on normal channels to squeeze the HD channels in? I haven't noticed any change in picture quality, I have a similar set up with a Pioneer plasma connected to the std Foxtel box (not IQ) via scart to component.
Brad.. Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 I haven't noticed any change in picture quality, I have a similar set up with a Pioneer plasma connected to the std Foxtel box (not IQ) via scart to component. same im pic looks fine to me
Tiger_Africa Posted June 7, 2008 Author Posted June 7, 2008 whats the prob ? with your foxtel ? Just seems that the pic is more unrefined than before. I don't expect HD type quality, but it just seems way less defined than before
Brad.. Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 Just seems that the pic is more unrefined than before.I don't expect HD type quality, but it just seems way less defined than before HMM dont know what to tell you check settings in tv
