DirecTV sat signals

I've been getting alot of pixellation w/ fox6 over directv HD...

All other channels (including other HD locals) seem fine at the time...

Anyone else seeing anything like this? Is it FOX6 or my dish alignment?

I've had 6 on for a few minutes, don't notice anything unusual.

What kind of programming has been pixelating?

Keep in mind that rapid motion (like football or fast scans) usually produce motion artifacts. I switched back and forth from D* to OTA during the Packer game an noticed it on both sources.

But Football acually is even worse on 4 with their higher resolution and their multicasting. It's ultra crisp between plays, but once stuff starts moving fast from side to side it gets pretty jiggy.

I agree. I get pretty bummed with having to watch football on CBS or NBS because they are bitstarved at 1080i and as soon as the game gets moving, bring on the blocks. It is real bad when flashbulbs go off etc. Overall I find Fox at 720p to be much smoother but obviously not quite as sharp. Still a better experience for me, with sports :)
