Checking to see if anyone else experiencing same issues with Dish on local channels broadcasting. Last Wed. 7/17 in the late afternoon the signal on all locals was freezing & pixelating so much it was not watchable. Checked the 3 - ABC, NBC and Fox all same. Our area is So.West Florida. I called Dish support and there was a recording saying something to effect of - if you are experiencing problems with your local channels, Dish is aware of the issue and working to resolve it.
At that point, I didn't wait to speak to anyone thinking it's just a waiting game and next morning (Thurs) turn on TV it is better on locals. Watched a few a.m. shows from 7am-9 am and good (just a few quick pixelations). Didn't watch tv until late afternoon -- from 5pm through prime time, on the locals again freezing & pixelations occurring every 6 or 8 mins. Shows were watchable but very annoying. I called Dish support - the rep said an ongoing problem they are working on. Nothing needs to be done, just be patient. Friday am same thing - shows are watchable, but pixelations intermittently. Late afternoon again same issue -- called Dish support. This time rep tells me no known issues and wants to go through all kinds of troubleshooting. I declined since it was late in the day, too tired to go through that. Now Saturday a.m, so far so good - but not sure what is going to happen as the day goes on.
If I didn't get the recording on support line Wednesday, I would have thought it was my equipment.
Anyone had this issue and any feedback - or should I just go ahead and have a tech come out?
