Heavy pixelization during the program. Checked my signal strength after the show completed recording, and it was all mid 80's to upper 90's on A/B/C ... Anyone else have the same problem?
I know it wasn't my hard drive, as I got the same pixelization on both of my DTivo units.

It's probably my dish alignment. Going to climb up there during daylight to confirm Azimuth, Elevation and Tilt are set properly on my 3LNB dish.

I noticed that many shows on ABC that I watch have pixelization.
Also channel 17(WB) is heavily pixelizated. They are both my 'locals' from Philadelphia.

I had it during Grey's Anatomy really bad signal was fine and no bad weather. Lost recorded fine though and we had bad weather...go figure.

You need to get your antenna better aimed (if possible of course, depending on topography etc) . I had a very very difficult install 40 miles out and spent 400 bucks on labor having the guy find 'the perfect spot' for me. Took 2 trips for him to do it. But 3 6 10 17 29 57 come in wonderfully and i even get 12 overnight most of the time. (never had a signal before) Also get NJ stations and a few other philly ones in just fine but those aren't that important to me.
17 and 29 were the worst for me. Here why (power and heights of towers)

generally OTA philly is wonderful for me with the exception of tuesdays law and order. There is something at nbc (or someone) that finds a way to mess it up somehow about 1/2 the time. But that has nothing to do with my reception of course :) It's the gremlins there.
