Pixelation at times on distant locals

[andy_horton]

I'm in the Chattanooga Tennessee market and we receive Atlanta news at 4pm, 5, 6, and 11pm. During the weather and traffic segments, the station pixelates. Is this because the cable company is using an OTA to receive the distant station? Chattanooga locals don't do this. Thanks, Andy

I don't think so. Does this channel pixelate at any other time ?

No. We only get the news on this channel. Just when they go to doppler radar or traffic radar

OK, it may not be you. It could be the station pixelating at the local headend The only way to find out is to call in and have them open up a ticket for the local market to check. It could be the station pixelating to the headend, or could be something wrong at the headend It doesn't sound like it would be a signal issue since it's only during certain parts of the local news. Bypass tier I and Tier II and Call Tier III in Denver 888-824-8988

Changed from Dish to Comcast a few months ago. I do notice audio dropouts and occasional video dropouts. Maybe it's a X1 thing. Do you have X1?

Since X1 is very much reliant on the signal levels vs legacy, this can effect audio drop outs too. Also.. It could be the local headend or an issue with the network. Hard to say at this point.

I have X1. I've also noticed during a storm, since the signal is digital, the video will drop out for a second or two.
