Pixelating picture.....help?

Ok, just got a Pioneer 43" Plasma HDTV, also added a new HD Tivo (250) receiver. I had a problem w/ my old TV - it would sometimes slow down & pixelate real bad. Also, just seemed really slow w. alot of pixelation. After the new TV & receiver it it still doing it. I have read of this issue & it usually being a hard drive, now I am guessing that is not the problem as I have a new receiver. Any ideas? Yes, I have re-booted, I've pulled the cables & tapped the ends (this was recommended by DirecTV customer service) seemed a little hokey to me. Should I replace the sat in cables & just keep going backwards toward the dish? Thanks for the help.

Does the pixelation occur with both sat tuners? Swap the two sat inputs and see what happens.

You can rule out the set, I think. Does it happen with sat or OTA signals, or both?

I will try switching the tuners - good suggestion. I just hooked up the OTA channels last night & it seemed to be fine, but it has never happened on HD channels. Thanks for your help.
