Choppy Video

[wfoskey]

Noticed tonight that video on CBSC hd is choppy. Almost like someone is continually pressing pause. My wife said she has noticed it on Food network also. Is this a satellite problem or is my 722 receiver about to quit?

It is likely a signal issue. Either you need a better alignment or you have a connection that is loose/incorrect/corroding. Depends on how long your system has been installed and when it started happening.

For what its worth, I had this happen to my 722 today and my signal readings are just fine.
A quick reboot fixed the issue.

Having the same problem with my 722 and yes my signal readings are fine and are the same readings that I've had before. A quick reboot fixes the problem but it comes back 2 or 3 days later. Software issue?

Only happens on some HD channels and the same channels are fine on the 622 receivers so definitely not a signal problem.

I've noticed this quite a few times in the last month on my 622. Random channels, but HBO2HD yesterday. Audio is fine, but video freezes/moves in blocks -almost like watching a vid on youtube. When I swap to the other tuner things are fine (but of course other tuner is on diff channel.) Changing channel/rebooting def helps. Good to hear (I guess) that it may not be my hard drive failing.

My 722 had same issue with DVR recording and HD feeds a REboot fixes issue. When my dvr has had any choppy video i just reboot. (I'm still using the same 622 That came out in 2006, never been replaced with a refurb.)

Rebooting will temporarily restore function. It's like going to a chiropractor for a back issue. It helps for awhile but the root cause remains and the dysfunction returns.
