anyone else notice this? Might be on other channels too, but this is the only one I've noticed.

1) video gets choppy
2) get blue "weak signal detected"...this appears to be on the stream, NOT the local receiver.
3) get blue "not authorized"
4) get "no signal"
5) get "weak signal detected"
6) content comes back.

this happened on 2 consecutive days so far. The whole cycle takes about 5 minutes.

It's that time of the year when the sun lines up behind the satellites. Could be what you are experiencing.

Don't think so. The Fox thing, as far as I can tell, is only happening to FOX. I am experiencing some other picture loss the same time every night that may be the sun/satellite lining up.

today the audio on Fox News was replaced by some soft rock for about a minute on several occasions. I wonder if Charlie is trying to sabotage the channel.

"Charlie" = code for communist.

coincidence? Vast left wing conspiracy?

this does not appear to be affecting other channels. Only Fox News.

Maybe Fox's satellite is the one in line with the sun?

I'm sure it is Clinton's fault.

Looks like liberal protest in New York....they might be on Fox News Channel rooftops [signal going haywire].
