Are you getting any channels? That is probably just a minor bug in the software of the receiver. If you're getting those little specks on all your channels though, then I might suspect something else!
I used to set spots like that on my tv, only certain channels. I finally figured out it was comming from my TiVo.
Good point Tantalus, could be some interference frm a noisy piece of equipment. Or maybe it's like mine>just needs to wipe off the tv screen, LOL
Appears that digital RF noise is entering the processor prior to the GUI overlay on the MPEG or JPEG image which is stored on the flash. Probably a component is not properly grounded due to poor seating or cold solder joint.
SatAV, I have to agree, I ran into a problem like that quite a few tears ago. Could almost make out a menu. Turned out to be a TV across the house in a bedroom. . Had to unplug it to get a clear picture in the living room. 60Ft between 'em, but fed with a common drop from splitter-amp. Fixed with an attenuator in line with the bedroom TV. (Not the best solution, but it worked.)
In the case of my TiVo interfering, it was noise coming from the switching power supply. After a recent upgrade I had not put the TiVo cover back on fully or the screws back in. Works wonders when you do the job right. Fixed!
