Picture is terrible and it's not just the old footage, even the adverts are terrible. Any suggestions on how to resolve appreciated.

Hi @GrahamGraham

If these are all SD channels then I'm afraid even the adverts will be in SD.

@oldfella Definitely seems a lot lesser quality than other SD channels ... seems to channels in the 360s.

Hi @GrahamGraham

SD channels are going to very depending in what format and Quality it was filmed.

Music channels with early content are typically poor Qualty.

SD Content on 4K or the larger TV sizes can look vey poor.

@oldfella Agree but that doesn't really explain why the ads are similar poor quality when compared to other SD channels. Never mind, at least the music is good.

The "Now" and "That's" music channels are broadcast at awfully low bitrates and always look terrible.

Hi @GrahamGraham Low bandwidth = Low quality = Low cost. Obviously the ads are broadcast with the same low bandwidth.
