Hi,
Just wanted to see if anyone besides me had trouble with FSN Pittsburgh tonight (ch. 659). I watched the Penguins game in HD, and it was awfully pixellated. Anyone else?

At times, yes it was badly pixelated, but most of the time it seemed OK, not the best HD broadcast I've seen though. Also when I noticed quick pixelation when the camera's switched, or like the second when coming back from a commercial. I've seen this issue on some HD channels on both dish and direct.
I just got D* installed a few days ago, so I was worried tonight that maybe the weather (windy) or just bad reception was causing the pixelation. So I'm glad you mentioned this, now I know it wasn't just something on our end.
However, this is the 1st HD pens broadcast I've seen on D*, so I can't compare this one to others, and if this is usually an issue.
I can say the HD broadcasts on E* hardly ever had any such issues, so I hope this isn't something that happens often with directv.
Was it pixelated the whole time for you? Like I said, most of the time the picture was OK. During the game I just saw the brief pixelation I mentioned, but I noticed bad pixelation at the end of pregame and start of postgame when it lasted for a minute or two where it was really bad.
The rest of the time, the pixelation was noticeable at times, but minor. I expected better though from a D* sports broadcast.
So can anyone comment if this is normal for D*?
