Is it just me

#1 Post by TheCalvinator24 » Sun Jan 20, 2008 5:13 pm

the Broadcast from Fox has been highly pixilated all week. It's the only channel it's been a problem, so I don't think it's my TV. Are they sending some kind of HD signal that older sets can't process properly?

For months my TNT HD channel was like that but now it is clear. I suspect the problem is with your cable provider.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

It's more likely either some interference from your cabling, or your receiver needs some fine adjustment (the kind you can't do, I mean -- the kind where a technician comes out and checks it out.

If it's satellite, you might be able to do it yourself. ours has a self diagnostic that runs to tell it if it's not receiving some signals clearly.

Of course, since it's Fox, it could just be that your TV is leaning a little too much to the left. :P
