Virgin One Quality on Sky

    I never watch much on Virgin One or the old TV3 but the 6 nations is around again and I end up tuning in and remembering why I don't want anything on the channel. I think there's even a little HD logo in the top right but the picture is so poor you wouldn't swear that's what it is.
    Once the analysis is over I switch straight to ITV or BBC for the game and the picture is crystal clear. I know these are HD and Virgin may not be despite the logo but the quality is worse than an illegal stream. Its not even SD quality.
    I found a few old threads asking virgin what was up and they just referred them to Sky.
    Does anyone know why? I assume its something to do with Sky and Virgin being direct competitors.

    Virgin Media on Sky is only available in HD when you have the HD pack. During the match, Virgin had the "HD" logo on non-HD versions of the channel.

    It is Virgin who are both technically incompetent and greedy - they should make the HD versions of their channels more widely available.

    It was the same on Saorview, showing HD but the quality was SD at best.

    I had it recorded so couldn't switch channel but would have done otherwise

    That happens more often than it should on the SD channels. I see it on Virgin Media Three sometimes too.
