It's happening this morning. I think it's more than just San Antonio.
Still looks bad on all local HD channels. I checked both my Hr20 and my H20 and both receivers had the pixelation problem. I also don't believe this is a receiver problem. I first noted this pixelation about 2 weeks ago, but it was sporadic. The problem has gotten much worse. Sure hope someone is looking into this.elbyj said:This issue has been going on since last Sunday. First it was just the CBS feed, but by Monday the pixelation had spread to ABC, NBC, and the FOX feed. I did call DIRECTV on Monday night and got a run around. Got the impression that they had no idea of what was causing the problems. They checked out the signal levels on the LNB to find out they are all fine -- so they concluded it was a receiver problem and scheded a tech out around 16 Oct to check things out and possibly replace the receiver. However, I don't believe it is a bad receiver! It is very wierd that the pixelation issues and the lock-ups starting occuring just about the same time this past weekend. Could they be related?
While the pixelation magically disappeared on Tuesday, we noticed they back on Wednesday night and we are still experiencing the same issues today. While the SD feeds are okay for the locals, this is only affecting the HD feeds.
I am with you concerning it not being a hardware issue and the CSR's intention to swap out receivers. The strong signals on both HD feeds for the locals are telling me one thing while the CSR is trying to convince us otherwise. Their concept is that when a receiver goes bad, the locals will be the first ones to go!Donnie Byrd said:Seems most likely not to be a receiver related issue but that is just my speculation. I am going to move this over to the "Programming & Services" forum as issues of this nature may be better addressed there.
