Local Off Air HD WSOC Charlotte Problems

[pott2233]

I have dish 811 receiver
using off air antenna to pick up local SD / HD.

All has been fine for a year - signal strength 80-90% - all other station no problem.

Last couple of weeks something changed - now on this ABC station WSOC 9.1/9.2 - it refreshes every 5 seconds or so -

Please help - could this be a station issue on the way they are broadcasting?

Someone else - same problem

I have confirmed someone else using a DISH 811 having the same issue.

Could it be a combination of the 811 as well as a change made on the network side?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help - NOT

Well I finally have figured this out after some major research.

The recent changes that the FCC is requiring all local affiliates to make (PSIP) has conflicted with the 811 software code.

I called my local affilaite that I am having the issue with WSOC. (super nice reposnse) They admitted to the change a few weeks back and admitted 95% of their calls since then were related to Dish 811 customers. He claimed they were in contact with Dish to help them correct the probelm.

i then called Dish (for like the millionth time) they finally claimed they new what I wa talking about and confirmed the compatability issue - they indicated they are working on a solution but could give me noe time frame for a correction - not even a ball park - days / weeks / months.

So I will continue to pester once a week or so until hey make this correction -
