            Yeah why not, from experience picture quality is better on vm so i have no reason to dis-believe them

            Everyone has their own experiences with vm and they wont please all of the people all of the time, i'm just saying although over the years i have had a couple of niggles with them but over all i think they provide a good service, my opinion

              but the thing is, whether you're happy or not, whoever told you that virgin transmits at 1080p is either mistaken or a bare faced liar

                I aint heard of any broadcaster transmitting 1080p. These engineers told you. Mmmm like shady said trustworthy folks. Wanted to see my motorised setup last time 1 came to our house.

                At op. If your streamin over wireless you can get problems. All depends how strong uoir signal is ect. And ive hearx these hubs are crap with wireless. Cant wait to get my hub now

                          Would a wifi extender improve performance in other parts of the house and put an end to buffering while streaming.. later to day i'm gonna put routre in hall which runs through middle of the bungalow. If this don't work are there any other devices available that would do the job?

                              If the sun comes up 2moro i'll move the routre to see if it improves the reception. Bugger all else will. Virgin guy did say he would replace it if i wasn't happy. reception ok everywhere else just not my b/room. The walls are about a ft thick. between my n living room there are 2 walls. I'm not keen on routre being in hall, i have a 2yr old gran kid who likes to fix things, whether they need it or not.
