What is ABC's Problem?

1002 Views 9 Replies 7 Participants Last post by  dbconsultant
I don't watch networks much mostly for sports. Last weekend and then again this weekend on ABC HD there has been pixelixation, freeze ups, half screens, etc. Last night trying to watch USC demolish Ohio State it was happening and today it was real bad watching the NapCar race. Am I the only one having this problem?

I was seeing the same thing. Very frustrating.
Last night my wife was trying to watch Big Brother and this is on CBS and the same thing was happening she got mad and said this is BS we are paying too much money for this kinda crap to be happening,
I don't see how you are determining if this problem is caused by the network, the local station, or your cable or satellite provider.

I did not see the pixelation issues on USC/Ohio State. There were some issues with some kind of half screen weirdness for about 60 seconds. It happened both on D* and OTA so it was not a provider issue. I'm in Boston so if you saw it too, it was a network issue. But like I said, it was only for about 60 seconds.

I saw the half screen like you said but there was also major freezing almost to the point where I was ready to quit watching. It was freezing as much as it was playing. I am starting to believe it is a issue with the local feed uplink in another post someone else is having the same issues with the Jax locals.
Does this problem seem to be limited to 720p channels? There are many similar complaints off and on about NASCAR on ESPN.
I haven't had any issues with NapCar on ESPN or any programming on any other HD channels except for the Jax locals. I know it is not a bad receiver I have 3 HR21's and happens on all three. My locals are on 103s just don't know what tranponder/s here is a listing of my signal strenghts from the other thread

1-8 0 82 96 95 93 82 NA NA
9-16 NA NA NA NA NA NA 88 90
17-24 0 98 0 86 18 0 95 0
25-32 NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

I am almost positive my locals are on one of the ones in the higher 90's

Same thing. Saw the half screen weirdness but no pixelation. We watched it dvr'd on 622, satellite channel out of Los Angeles.
