I haven't had this happen for a while. This afternoon the CBS HD feed from Salt Lake did this................

I have emailed the picture to DISH.

CBS OTA channel, or mpeg4 HD channel? That looks like an channel provider problem rather than a Dish problem to me (I've seen it happen on several OTA channels in Denver over the years).

I get this all the time on my S.F. Bay area locals in HD, and I don't have OTA; it's all satellite. I, too, figure it's the uplink from the locals.

Mark it is mpeg4 from Dish. I do not have OTA where I live.

I had something like this during the morning on my local ABC affiliate. Yep, it's gotta be a Dish thing as I have never seen this in my five years with a D* subscription. I've had it a few times the past month.

I saw that the other night (maybe 2 nights ago?) on Fox HD (Los Angeles through the satellite, so MPEG2). The audio's fine, and the pixellated image moves.

OTA at that time was perfectly fine, so it was something on Dish's end. It went away after a few minutes.

I'm not sure if that channel is mpeg2 or 4. The audio was just as bad as the picture.

I'm not expert on how the 622 works but it appears to me that you have a defective unit. I can understand pixelation happening on the incoming signal but in your example the overlay graphics from the 622 are distorted as well. I would think that since those are generated by the 622 they never should be pixelated.

I don't think the overlay graphics are distorted.............I think you can "see thru them" and see the pixelation under them. Please let me know if I'm wrong.
