For me the sound and image quality on the channels that Swisscom downgrades the HD signal to SD (without offering the channel in HD quality) is a real disaster
The following channels are affected: Boomerang, Boing, RFM TV, Extreme Sports, Comédie+, Infosport+, Tiji, MCM Top and to a lesser extent Mangas
Good morning,
New customer Swisscom TV 2.0 for three days, like you I notice some imperfections in the sound. Compared to cable reception (without box) from UPC clablecom, the sound is really very weak for certain channels, despite having set the volume of my Swisscom tv box to the maximum.

Hello LSNomade,
If it’s on RFM TV, MCM Top, Extreme Sports, Boing F, Boomerang F, D17, Tiji, Comédie+, Infosport+ you can’t do anything about it because it’s Swisscom which takes the HD signal to transform it into in-house SD. which has an impact on the sound but also the quality of the image (compared to the basic SD signal)
Cordialement
Thank you for your answers,
Indeed it is mainly on the channels RFM TV, MCM Top, Extreme Sports, Boing F, Boomerang F, D17, Tiji, Comédie+, Infosport+. Personally, the sound volume on RTS 1 and 2 is not as good as via the UPC cable network, at least that’s my opinion. In short, it’s not a big deal, I’ll put the volume on my TV louder 😉
Good evening, I would like to know why the sound of bluewin TV 2 is so bad, mainly on the TSR. If the sound of French channels is somewhat better, it is still far from what one might expect, especially when it only involves transmitting a digital signal as it is supplied. On a technical level, it’s relatively simple, especially when the TSR for example claims to provide HD and digital sound, which I don’t find on my well-made home cinema anyway. This makes me seriously hesitate to buy the new box, because if it’s to have a very good picture with terrible sound, it’s not worth it. Now, no need to contact me to ask me to reset the internet terminal and the box, which has been done several times and which changes absolutely nothing. I add that I am passionate about sound recording (mainly analog) and therefore, I know what I am talking about. Now, if a tip - adjustment or any other operation that I have not detected could improve the situation, I am interested, even if I have already tried quite a bit to improve things without success.
See you soon / Eagle
Swisscom never resolved the problem, it is unacceptable (for a change…) especially when we see all the messages on this subject over the months. It’s not complicated to take an average of the sound levels of each channel and see that there are quite a few differences.
NO, auto volume on the TV is not a solution, I don’t want a compressor. It is up to Swisscom to adjust the dynamics upstream.
Wait, don’t tell me that Swisscom doesn’t have the equivalent of a digital mixing desk for the signals transmitted in its network. It’s Swisscom who compresses the video stream, it’s Swisscom who has total control over how the signal is transformed for their network The level has always been different on the MTV pack, they can adjust that but still need to let them move.
