WOLF/56 Pixelation

Since at least last Sunday, WOLF/56, the Fox affiliate in Scranton, PA, has been pixelating periodically on both their DirecTV satellite and streaming feeds.

At one point, it even pixelated so bad, a black screen saying "We are sorry for the interruption of service, there is no need to call us." even appeared for a few seconds.

I am assuming it is some kind of interference issue at the LRF.

Just an FYI. We get this channel via a deep fringe antenna - two-edge reception from over 50 miles away - and it has been rock steady here. Not sure what is happening with the DirecTV or streaming options.

It’s still happening today. I will try contacting the chief engineer, will see what they can do about it.

Is this happening at any particular time during the day or night? How long does the pixelation last? I have still not seen it happen during our normal tv watching via antenna.

It happens all the time, roughly every 10 seconds to 2 minutes, and the pixelation itself only lasts for a second or two. I believe that's referred to more commonly as a "blip".

I just spent the last hour plus tuned to 56.1 and did not see a single issue via our antenna. I wonder what is happening with DirecTV's version of the channel and their streaming ?

I sure hope you can get an explanation and get it resolved. Good luck! Keep us posted!
