Pixelation on only one channel

[yrag]

I have an HR21 700. I recieve both HD and SD channels perfectly except for the last week or so the HD Fox Sports Channel 687 pixelates and stalls about every few minutes. Sometimes every 20 seconds. This only occurs on this channel. I have reset my receiver several times and my satellite readings are all very high and all other stations are fine including the SD channel 687. Is this my equipment problem or is it originating with the broadcast station?

i get the same thing but the mine is with a local news channel!!!

I finally figured out what was wrong. I researched and found that Channel 687 is on Sat 99W transponder 7. I then checked the sat signals and found that I had a zero reading on that transponder only!!! So I adjusted the dish at most only one degree (or less) and solved the poblem.

where did you go to find where that particular channel is with the satellite and transponder?

AFAIK, the only transponder/channel information available is for local channels.

I just checked on dbstalk. There are transponder/channel charts there now. My bad. It said that 687 was on 99 channel 8, not 7.

Oh yeah! I forgot they were here, too. It's the same poster on both sites.
