Break up in signal and speech is affected.

Digital interference or break up. Picture freezes. Last two days the speech is slurred. Happening more often. Complained several months ago, has been happening not as bad until now. This is worse reception than before we got the HD receivers. This needs to be fixed.

Could someone please get Direct to change up the music they use for their unsponsored commercial breaks? It’s starting to get annoying.  Really, how much could it cost to add a couple of new tunes?
