TV reception breaking up

TV reception breaking up into pixels, erratically, on both NFL games I'm switching between. Anyone else having the problem?

Is it possible that this is an effect of the solar storm so frequently predicted over the last few months?

Saw it during the New Years broadcast from New Orleans on CBS last night.

I figured either solar storms or Putin getting back at Obama. Although I wouldn’t put this past Obama as part of this plan to not go quietly.

No, I gave up the NFL when they decided to allow their players to disrespect the anthem and flag of our nation.

What’s your source? Satellite, cable, over-the-air, internet streaming?

If you’re getting pixels, it’s usually a transmission/reception issue. If satellite or over-the-air, it could be local weather or mis-alignment. If cable or streaming,then it’s likely an issue with the carrier. If streaming over the internet, reboot your modem and router.

Same problem here. But I’m watching Miami-Pats on my computer (Media Center, TV Tuner Card) Over-The-Air broadcast.

Since you mentioned it, the problem seems to have gone away.

Did the NFL insult Barry in any way?

Is it an over the air connection? If so, that happens with one of our TVs connected to a TV.

I use over the air TV inputs. Breakups indicate a low signal. Install an amplifier on the antenna line.

.
TV signals tend to be direct line of sight, and have no need for help from the ionosphere, so not likely due to solar activity.

More likely multipath problems.
