Momentary Pixelation on HD National Channels
About 3-4 weeks ago I started noticing momentary pixelation on my national HD channels from my HR21. This occurs for approximately 1 sec every 1-3 minutes. Occasionally, I get a brief yellow dialog box that says searching for satellite, but it goes away so fast it’s hard to catch. This is occurring on at least the following: NFLHD, TOONHD, DISNEYHD, FOXNEWSHD, PPVHD (don’t remember channel), FOXMOVIES HD & DISCOVERY HD. I figured I may have had an antenna alignment issue, possibly some heavy winds might have moved my dish slightly, so yesterday I tweaked my dish alignment. My signal strengths were already in the good range before tweaking the antenna, but now I would call them excellent. However, this did not help, I’m still seeing the pixelation. My signal strength meters are reading the following on 103 (D10) and 99 (D11):

I haven’t bothered to list my signal strengths for the other satellites since these are generally older standard def feeds, but believe me they are all in the very good to excellent range.
Oddly, my Orlando locals do not experience this problem even when viewing HD programming.
Any ideas out there?
