Picture Quality

Hello, ive been reading lots of posts with great interest in regard to picture quality settings on the v+ box, Ive only had mine a few days, but have to say Im very dissapointed with the standard channels. BBC HD is excellent, but pretty much all the others are grainy, pixelated and blur on movement,

I have a Toshiba 37C3030D Tv, Ive been experimenting with 720 and 1080, wide and not wide, im using a standard HDMI cable, which I have also changed on the off chance it was a cable problem. In fact I get a slightly better picture with scart (When enabled).

My sole reason for going for the V+ box was to improve the picture quality on all channels using HDMI. HD will be an added bonus, when there are channels available. But so far, I feel a bit ripped off to be honest. Phoned virgin, but the india call centre seem a bit trigger happy with the engineer visits, I was rather hoping they might offer some advice on settings. Not sure there's a fault with the box, as BBC HD is stunning on times.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated and many thanks

Jon

I don't know if it will help you or not. We have now had Virgin V+ cable for three weeks and just installed (with help from members here) and connected a tv.

I found a link for my Samsung

Perhaps they have a similar Owners Thread for your tv with settings guidance .... Use the search 'owners thread for .....'

Who is celebrating two hard days of eventually connecting her tv !!!

It looks like you have the new version of my tv - I have the 37WLT68 which was made before yours.

Picture with V+ is excellent on all channels.

Are you running the TV with the standard settings, or have you played with them? I suspect you need to tweak the picture to get the best results.

Thanks guys, I have tinkered with the settings a fair bit, maybe I should try factory settings.
Interesting the 32" version of the toshiba seems to get a better picture.
