Horizontal line showing up on Fox programs. Anyone else??

[resendes75]

For the last few weeks I have been noticing a horizontal line showing up on screen during all the primetime shows I watch on my local Fox network. It becomes more noticeable when frame changes or when there's movement on screen. Its less noticeable on the Sunday night animated programs. At first I thought maybe it was an issue with my tv. But then I noticed it only happens on my local Fox network. Doesnt happen on any of the ABC,NBC,CBS or cable shows. I also checked the other tvs on the house and it shows up and those as well on the Fox shows. FYI I have two hoppers and two joeys in the household.

I took a photo as reference and am including it. I paused the screen during a scene of tonight's airing of Raising Hope. Has anyone have this issue. I would really love to find out whats causing this as its been going on for at least 3 weeks now. Is something wrong with my dish? or System? I would appreciate any help!!!! Thanks!!!

Just watched kitchen nightmares from Friday and it wasn't on my program. Possibly a problem with your local fox affiliate.

Does it start at the bottom and scroll upward or is it static?

I saw this years ago. The line would be apparent every time there was movement, then disappear on static images. The top of the picture above the line is slightly out of sync with the portion of the picture below the line. Don't recall what caused it. It could be a Dish problem (receiver or Dish's WNAC satellite transmission) or it could be a WNAC problem.

resendes75,

1. Do both Hoppers do this? If yes, it probably is not a receiver problem.
2. Does the problem appear OTA? If it appears on satellite only, then Dish's satellite transmission is probably the problem.
3. If OTA is not available to you, ask one of your non-Dish neighbors if they see the problem when watching WNAC. It could be a WNAC problem.

Yes, it shows up on both hoppers. And also on the tv's hooked up to the joeys.

i used to have an ota antenna, not sure if it still works. will have to look into that.

I watch lots of fox shows and haven't seen this. FYI - Springfield, MO

Nothing on the CT or FL Fox channel. Either a WNAC problem or an uplink problem I would suspect.

thanks guys for all the responses. Hopefully someone in my area sees this thread as it would be good to know if anyone else with Fox WNAC has this problem as well.

On occasion what you describe, a line slowly moving up the screen has happened to me. When it happened it was for everything fed into my TV from the DISH box though not from other sources. Usually reseating the jacks or using different input/outputs takes care of it. My guess it has to do with oxidation building up and messing with the signal. This is just a guess.

An Update on this, yesterday I spoke with a relative of mine, who lived about 20 miles away from me but he also has Dish and the WNAC Fox affiliate. He also reports this horizontal line showing up on screen during the Fox network shows. So this is definitely an issue with either the Dish upload of the channel or a problem at WNAC

You might want to email dishquality@echostar.com about this. They were very helpful with an issue I had awhile back. It was also with the local fox station but had to do with black frames showing up.

I just passed this info along again to Dish for them to look into. I guess we'll see if its a wide spread problem or they can duplicate it.

No issue with WFXT north of you in Boston.

I see the line on my VIP612. It is only the dish channel. WNAC using my OTA is fine.

I am also having audio problems on WLNE prime time shows. All the audio seems to be directed to the left rear speaker only. I have not tested the OTA channel yet. Every time I want to test it I seem to be recording a different channel.

UPDATE - The audio problem is on both the Dish channel and the OTA channel. So this problem is with the station.

Looks like this issue might have been resolved. I'm watching Fox's primetime shows from tonight, and so far have not seen the horizontal line appear as of yet. Fingers crossed, hopefully it doesnt re-appear
