Image quality lacking compared to cable
I just moved onto the fibre tv service from cable. The image quality has taken a drastic dip. Even Netflix looks crappy and I can compare it directly with my Apple TV, a world of difference.
I suspect the bitrate has been seriously hammered down. Heck, it’s obvious. Can anything be done? Cable actually looked so much better. And before you ask, yes I have restarted the box, checked the cables, restart the tv, started a forest fire, sacrificed a chicken, ate the chicken, brewed my own beer... yet the image still looks like the bitrate is seriously gimped.

Good luck with them @Buzzed. I got fed up and pulled the plug. I am no more subscribed to their TV services. Most likely I'll move out of the Mobile as well at the end of the contract.

@Unilator That’s the best thing you can do. I’ll probably be ending my subscription as soon as I’m able to as well, it’s just not worth it anymore. And heck, I’m the type who is willing to pay a premium if I see the value in it.
And notice how Amy has completely ignored me, the thread starter who is still experiencing this issue and is instead asking Apyock to fall into the useless rabbit hole of reboots and form filling. Typical. Well no PMs this time around so I suppose that’s some sort of improvement?
This sucks.

We refer to our last PM in Aug 2018 and have not received a reply from you since. Do provide us with the programmes you're experiencing the image or "soft audio" issue with so we can check this and provide your feedback to the Channel Partners.

Just an update. I sent in the form for technical assistance as suggested by the moderator. The technician came and I suggested to change the new settop box to the older version. There was an improvement in the resolution after the change. The only setback is the startup is slower in the old settop box.
