I have so many problems Direct TV's HIDEF and especially with Channel 87 (KABC-LA) and Direct TV refuses to acknowledge it's the station (or broadcast). There's audio dropouts, clicking, and picture disruptions that are VERY annoying. I get these vertical bands then the picture drops out, goes black, then comes back. Happens waaaay too often. Let's see. They've sent me a tech about 4 times and I still have the same problems. And, on both HIDEF recorders (TIVO and HR20 HiDef recorders).
They changed out my LNB, then they changed out my whole dish (to the 5 LNB), then on the last call they changed my MultiSwitch. The technician said now I won't have any more problems (because the MS was a 4x8 and he now installed a 6x8?). OK. As he sat on my couch writing up his Work Order, I had Channel 87 on and ... you guessed it. Vertical bands and picture disruptions. I wish I could post a picture and maybe someone here could help with where else to look. Direct TV says it's not them, KABC in Los Angeles says it not them, the technician says nothing else can be done. I pay good money for total Direct TV service and HiDef and I'm mad.
I still get all the same picture distortions, lines, dropouts, etc on BOTH receivers so I doubt it's the receivers or hard drives.
And, since I started HD even some of the other channels are now affected by glitches, freezes, etc. I'm so disgusted and I don't know what else to do.
P.S. And I won't even go into the numerous and aggravting problems I've been experiencing with the HR20 receiver. I hate it and it creates more problems on top of my other problems. AARG!!!
