Pixelization on ABC in DC Sorry about the misspelled header. I don't know how to correct the error.

Is anyone else experiencing pixelization on WJLA, CHANNEL 7? The Nascar race from Richmond is terrible at times and it is clear weather here. We have also noticed it during Good Morning America when the show goes outside to broadcast live from the park. Is this an ABC problem or my receiver...

The issue seems to be cleared up today. Thanks for asking.

Yes, I receive the DC locals and have notice intermittent pixelization on the Hd locals this evening and also this morning while watching the news on WTTG.

Your zip code is in the Harrisburg, PA DMA and receives CSN Mid Atlantic and MASN. Your available baseball will be the O's or the Nats. I think you are receiving the Penquins on ch 659 because you sub to the NHL package. It looks like you can get the Pirates if you sub to sports pack. Check...

Using that logic, the Redskins don't count either. Both the University of Maryland at College Park and the Redskins are in Prince George's County. MD. For those not familiar with DC, Montgomery and Prince Georges counties in Maryland are considered part of DC and most residents consider it...

Just got an update from my friend this morning. Directv arrived on October 10th to upgrade my friends receiver. The installer replaced the 3 lnb dish with the 5lnb HD dish and swapped out a regular receiver for a non DVR, HD receiver. Down to the basement room to activate the receiver and...

I checked with my friend yesterday and the electrical outlet is not controlled by the light switch. He had to call Directv again on Wednesday regarding the problem. Partly in disgust, he upgraded this receiver to an HD receiver. They are coming on Saturday to do the install. Problem solved I...

Tonight, I did the tried and true reset everything option. This seems to have cleared up my problem with closed captioning, Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I have two H20-100 Directv HD receivers and neither one will display readable closed captioning while on an HD channel. The closed captioning is readble in most cases on the SD feed of the channel. I have a deaf son who depends on the captioning to follow some of the programs. Is the closed...

Here's an update. The receiver is plugged in continuously and the cable to the satelite is never unhooked. He spoke to Directv last evening trying to resolve the problem. They just reauthorized his programming. He is probably going to upgrade to HD and swap out that receiver or go back to...

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check with him tomorrow at work regarding the length of time, power status and connection. I'll update when I get some answers. Thanks!

A friend of mine has three Directv SD receivers hooked up to a three lnb dish. With two of the receivers there is no problem at all with reception. The third receiver needs to be reauthorized before each use. This receiver is only used sparingly. None of the receivers are hooked to a phone...
