Okay Guys hands up who was it that told Maria she'd left the Mic on LOL

I don't know, but Maria from home doesn't really work. Still Darcy has been lively.

Did Honey show up??
Tuned in a few times between 2 and 4 and it was only Vix. Did I just tune in every time she was on a brake??
That is how my luck goes…….

What has the better picture quality, Sky or the websteam? Webstream is annoying sometimes as it freezes and needs to be refreshed but it seems like the picture quality is better than what I get from Sky which frankly looks awful on my 4k tv.

The picture quality on Sky has gone to shit for me since they moved to a new transponder a few weeks ago, unfortunately. They're broadcasting at a lower bitrate now, I can tell by comparing the file sizes of older recordings on my PVR compared to recordings made now. Older recordings average 2.5 - 2.6GB for 3 hours of recording, compared to 2 - 2.1GB average now. Webstream only for me now.

Damn thought it had got worse, when I used to be on Sky hd before I upgraded to Sky Q I thought the Sky Q quality was worse, but it was comparable to the web at least, now Sky Q just gives me an even more noisy and blocky picture.
Is this a Sky wide issue or just with Xpanded?

Not a Sky wide issue. Other channels I've tested are no different, still fine. Just Xpanded and the other channels that moved with them to the new frequency a few weeks ago.
Maybe they're having to share the new transponder with more channels than before so there's less bandwidth available to each channel, hence the lower bitrate, dunno.
Webstream for day shows, Freeview for night shows now. Slightly softer picture on Freeview as they broadcast 544x576 as opposed to 720x576 on Sky, but a much better bitrate on Freeview, 15 - 16MB per minute which is decent.
