No issues with New York CBS or Orlando CBS here.
Nope had issues with Fox 13 in Tampa though. It kicked out a couple of times. I don't know if that was the network acting up, Fox 13, or the satellite.

It was FOX.
Ya Fox New York was blipping out with a black screen also...so I would say it was FOX itself.
Fox went black a few times here in WI, no issues with the local CBS
Here in the Tulsa DMA CBS and FOX are having pixelation issues, its pretty bad.
Currently having problems in Yuma, Az. with CBS HD feed. The picture is jumpy and blacks out some times.
Our local CBS affiliate has had more problems then a dead monkey on a rock since they upgraded to HD transmission. Just last week they went down twice. Because we live in a MPEG 4 DMA there's no SD to switch to when they go down. Complaining to the station manager falls on deaf ears. Would love to get a waiver from him so I can get the national CBS feed but I know that's not going to happen.
CBS in Fort Myers was jittery during the Houston Baltimore game today.
I've had the same problem w/ CBS & Fox here in the Seattle area. I change the channel & it goes away. Is it the channels or is my DVR going bad?
I thought mine was acting up today also, then I realized it was just Shannon Sharpe talking.
I saw similar issues with CBS out of Syracuse, NY.
Had problems with CBS Orlando yesterday with Ravens vs Texans

This was my experience also. During both CBS games this weekend I got wildly pixelated picture. Changing the channel cleaned it up, and I didn't see it on any other channels.
Picture was jittery and slow. Commercials were perfect picture. Imagine that. Lol:hurah:
I have also been having pixlation problems with CBS during football games the past couple weeks. I tried to switch to my OTA antenea, but CBS is so weak in Cincinnati that I switched back to the HD reciever.

Any word on what is going on with this issue?

As a follow up to my post our local CBS affiliate went out again early last night and is still off the system as I type this. It's beyond reason how they can be in the broadcast business and have the amount of "technical difficulties" as they have had over the years. CBS:Cumbered Broadcast System. :mad:
