DFW 942 OTA Reboot of Nascar What the %*$#@

[Kevin_Texas]

I am in the DFW area a suburb of Dallas. Watching the NASCAR race on the local OTA (NBC) and my 942 will just reboot. It has happen about 6 times now. I can switch to Dish local and it's fine. This is not the first time this has happen. Seems everytime I watch NASCAR in HD through OTA on NBC.

All other OTA are fine.

Anyone elese having this problem.

Probably a corruption problem in the stations digital stream. Call the station and report it to them. Their PSIP may be kaput.

I have had OTA signals lock up a digital tuner so bad I had to unplug it to get it to work - it was not a Dish tuner.

Same thing here in Fort Worth and we are on our 7th 942. We have had all kinds of problems with them. The whole reason I went with with dish was for the HD broadcast now they want MORE money. Not Me. I want what they promised for 18 months then if they want to go up fine I will at least have a choice. Locals in HD and a fixed price for 18 months.

It has also been happening to me since April. I did seem to clear up but has gotten worse again. I sent a email to NBC several weeks ago but of course no response.

By the way I don't have the issue with my 811

After getting lots of reboots last weekend, I survived through the NFL game on Thursday without any reboots. I was quite surprised. KXAS has been a problem child before (trick play used to not work at all with KXAS on my old 921 about 18 months ago).
