Direct TV

[starcraft69]

I am wondering if others are experiencing more day to day issues with Direct lately. At home with HD we seem to be getting more and more pixelation and brief picture freeze. We dont get error code it is real quick but is annoying. I have been with Direct for many many years and this seems to be happening a lot lately. My guess is that it's them doing upgrades and switching over to the new system. Anyone else experiencing this? What are your thoughts? Sorry but please don't tell me to switch to Dish or that you use streaming Bla Bla Bla. It would be nice to stay on topic. Thank you all.

What receivers do y'all have? The HR44 and earlier are basically worn out. The freeze is a receiver issue, guaranteed.

We are in Fl. and we have the same concerns.

We've experienced it here in NC Illinois also. Seems to come and go.

Yes I have noticed that in my recordings.

We just got an update a bit more than a week ago. So far this update seems to have finally resolved maybe 90% of the problems. Took ATT nearly a year to fix the issues. If it wasnt for about 6 channels that Dish does not offer we would have been gone a long time ago. Last tech alao gave us the later HR55 receiver which seems to have also helped.
BTW we were experiencing freeze ups probably 6 time a day with the HR44 receiver. Switched to the HR54 like I said cured that issue. I believe your problem is the receiver. Get it replaced.
