Thursday night, a whole slew of channels were unwatchable: SBYND, most SD Starz, most SD Encore, etc. They were still bad on Friday morning. FWIW, the receiver is always powered down at night.
I went to the check signals menu, signals looked good on 110 and 119, and when I exited, the channels were good.
It happened again Sunday with locals on 129. Since I have LOS issues with 129, that was no surprise, but I decided to check the signals anyway - I had a whopping 41 on 129, so I knew there should be no problem viewing the channels (Anything over 17 or so on 129 is great for my house.). It cleared it up. Later, it was gone again, but OTA was OK, so I just ignored it.
Can someone explain to me again how just checking the signal strength (not a check switch) can clear up poor reception on the receiver?
