  • 1 transponder weak signal with pixelation

    My DirecTivo RCA DVR40 has intermittant pixelation, freezing picture and audio dropouts on certain channels only, FoxNews, FoxBusiness and supposedly Disney. The problem lasts only a few seconds, then clears, then recurs a few seconds later. It happens when the weather is clear. I checked all transponders on 3 sats are >93+ signal strength, except SatA TP18, which DirecTV phone tech says corresponds to the misbehaving channels. I cannot find an up to date TP map for DirecTV.

    There is only one receiver in the house, cables come direct from the dish to the receiver via quality lightning arrestors and in wall cables. All connections are tight. This problem started several weeks ago.

    I swapped cables to the SAT inputs, no change. Both inputs show ~66 signal strength on this transponder only.
    Thanks for any advice.
