Hello,

I get all 8 of my Buffalo locals off transponder 29 on the 119 satellite. This morning, the video on 2 of 8 channels was going in and out - like you were flipping a light switch on and off. The audio never cut out and was never out of synch. I found it strange that it only happened on 2 of the 8 channels since they share the same transponder. I called DTV and was told to unplug the unit - though I was sure this wouldn't help. - and it didn't. The lady told me they were having some problems with locals on the 119 bird, but didn't elaborate. She said she submit my call to them. I'm at work so I won't know until tonight if it's fixed. I was just wondering if anyone else had similar problems.

I also contacted Directv about Buffalo Locals. (severe pixellation, freezing, audio dropouts) All I got was a standard response that they are working to correct the problem. Rumor I hear though is that they are increasing compression at 119 to make room for more locals.
