Hi
New to the forum.
My problem is moderate to severe pixelization.
I have a Hitachi 65SWX20 high def rear projection. A few weeks a go, Directv came and set me up with a new dish (5lnb) and their latest set top box so I could receive
local channels in hd. The picture is suberb, but I experience pixelization on both hd and sd channels. It's not constant, but every minute or so I get a patch, sometimes as big as half of the screen size. It lasts only a second, but it is quite annoying. I had to purchase a hdmi/dvi cable to make the connection between box and monitor. I checked the signal strength and all of the satellites are registering 80-85. The tech who replaced my dish moved it further up the roof to avoid a few trees that could obstruct a clear signal. Is it possible that the pixelization is caused by the cable? Everything else seems to be in order. When I get the pixelization there is no audio dropoff, just video.
Also, is it better to set the box to "native"? I assumed that in doing so, the box would just switch to the correct incoming signal from the broadcaster. Is it better to leave in "native or not?
Any guidance as to what to look for would be appreciated.
Thanks
