    I don't have UPC but my mother has. She rang me yesterday to say that she couldn't get UTV and that when she rang UPC they said she would need to sign up to an additional package. Can anyone shed any light on this?

    Does she have the analogue or digital package?
    Where is she located?

    This is a channel I rarely watch but tuned into the Community Shield yesterday. I've got the Horizon box but the UTV picture was truly awful. Maybe I'm just used to watching sport in HD but UTV looked like a pixelated webstream to me. Is it always like this does anyone know?

    In a word... Yes

    It's probably the worst channel on UPC for picture quality, and very noticeable when watching football

    Hopefully UTV HD will launch on UPC when it finally joins Freesat and Sky's EPG later this year

    Cheers, I still have a satellite dish up so I might connect a cheap fta box to it for the champions league this season.
