Saturday Reception Question

[Stanley Kritzik]

With my Tivo DirecTV10-250, I ran into two problems today, Saturday.  First, CH10-1 thru 4 seemed to be off the air completely.  Is this true, and is this normal?

Second, WISN 12-1, on frequency 34 shows a lot of pixelation, freezing, etc.  My signal strength is quite high, though it bounces around a bit, but, as compared to, say, WTMJ (or any normal station), therendition is very unsatisfactory.  Is it them, or me?


Thanks,

Stan

For the 10-1 thru 10-7 either do a rescan of channels or look and see if they have shown up as 8-1 thru 8-7.  One of my receivers (SATHD200) did this yesterday, but the other 2 receivers were still working on 10-1.

I appreciate the advice on 10-1, etc.  Today, Sunday, they have returned to normal.  I also mentioned Ch 12 pixellation, and today, I went outside to look at my new OTA antenna, since yesterday was very windy.

Duh!  I had thoughtlessly pointed the antenna right at a tree, complete with leaves, etc., and with the wind blowing...  So, my solution will be to move that OTA antenna to an open spot, which I can do fairly easily.
