Having issues with FOX 35 HD feed. Pixalation and program went black for 10 minutes then came back as SD upconvert.

Current program: Terminator
The Fox station was hit by lightning at that time, they mentioned it in the morning news and apologized to us Terminator fans.
Having alot of stuttering sound and pixel problems on WESH 2 NBC,WKMG 6 CBS
I think this posted elsewhere, but WB16 sound is not matching up with video. There's about a 2 second delay between the 2.
Whenever I switch from another channel to any of the Orlando locals I get a grey screen for a few seconds than the picture.

Also every night at exactly 11:00 the screen flickers for a instant when watching the Orlando networks.

I have the HR20-700, slimline dish.
I first posted these problem's on 9-22-08 Audio stuttering video drop out's on 2,6,9,35.Still not fixed!I have no problem's when I watch the same channels on OTA and they work just fine.Only when I watch the locals on Directv that I have the problem's.Will Directv even see this post?I ask because the same problem is still going on!

I have 2 HR20-700s and they both work fine, with no audio problem. There was a slight problem yesterday during the Jacksonville/Baltimore game, but it was either a network or local station problem, as I was getting it through my HR20-700s and on another TV with my OTA antenna hooked directly to the TV tuner. When you say you don't get the problem OTA, is your OTA antenna hooked to your DirecTV receiver, or directly to your TV?
Watching Fringe on local Fox station and it just didn't look good/right. Looked more like SD than HD. Other HD channels looked very SDish as well. And the picture is the same on both my TVs running thru HR20-700s.

Could there a problem with D*? Usually the local Fox station looks great in HD as do the other channels. Even ESPN looks off tonight.

Any news or thoughts are welcome. Thanks.

I noticed that also and the sound was cutting in and out .
WOFL 35 is one of the worst stations for quality. They are always having signal problems. I used to think that only happened while I was on Bright House, but now it's obvious that it's the station and not the service providers.

I have the same equipment as you and the only problem i have when watching Fox is audio. It seems that i have to constantly adjust my volume.
WESH (NBC) and WOFL (FOX) HD feeds have started constant freezing/stuttering overnight.. (April 25th, 11pm) And it's still doing it today.. All 3 HD rx's doing it.. Reset reciever with no change.. Totally unwatchable.. :(

RX's: (1) HR21-700 and (2) H20-600
WESH 2 NBC, pixelating badly every morning. Went down during world news 6:30pm Thursday, Directv watermark displayed issues after days of denial on my issues in the morning. Why Directv do you feed everyone a line of BS when we report an issue? CSR this morning sending report to engineering for what its worth. Anyone else with issues??
All my HD locals have been gone since around 7pm est. (10/29/2012) SD seem fine..

Anyone else having audio dropouts on WRBW 65? I watch 7pm-8 or 9pm (Big Bang Theory Reruns) and every 10-15 seconds, the audio drops out. This is the only channel that I have experience these dropouts regularly. It happens EVERY day. HR-21/700
I wonder why WTMO Telemundo 31 is not listed on my locals with Directv but Dish and Uverse have it in their local line up?
