Picture break-up on Sky Sports

I'm watching the Leicester v Newcastle game on Sky Sports on channel 402. I've noticed quite a lot of picture break-up during the first-half. It was like this in the summer, but had been okay since until today.

When you're tuned to 402, what do your signal strengths show (Services > Settings > Signal)?

The white part of all four bars should be at least half way across.

They are all well over half-way across.

If they remain stable over several minutes, it doesn't look like a signal reception issue. Possibly occasional glitches with the broadcast. You could highlight it to the Viewer Relations team, if you wish.

I'm guessing it is a transmission issue @Andrew+00 as I was having the same, mainly in the first half with the worst one occurring just as the clock ticked over to 45 minutes. Let us know what the Viewer Relations say when they reply to you.
