A few days ago I noticed that on a few stations like History, Syfy, Discovery and the Travel channels, every once in a while the stations commercials would act up.
Its kind of strange but here's what their doing.
The video portion of the signal is broken into 3 equal sections. (left, center and right). But the right portion of the video is on the left side of the TV , the right portion is in the center and the left is on the right. But at the very bottom of the screen is what looks like an encoded signal bar that goes from one side of the screen to the other.
The signal bar is composed of small circles or dots
Sort of like this:
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
The dots turn from orange to green to yellow in some sort of pattern. The pattern of movements of the dots seems to correspond somewhat to the audio, but not completely. Almost looks like a network graph.
At the very Top and bottom of the screen, scrolling from right to left is tiny ticker tape type lines of code. Looks like machine code.
At first it was on the stations I mentioned, but today its happening on a lot more. But its just the commercials. The programs are playing normal.
This is all happening on a 722.
I think it might have something to do with the last software update it did 5 days ago. Since then my DVR timers have also gone nuts. There set to record new programs only but seem to be recording every episode of shows I watch.
Anyone else?
