Blue screen then White snow when using Mitsu 3dc-1000

Using the mitsu 3dc-1000 with a 65'' mitsu 3d tv and getting a blue screen and white snow with popping noises when switching regular 2d channels.  Takes about 5-10 secs to finally get the picture on. Could this be because im using 2 different hdmi cables? 1.4 and the direct tv supplied 1.3??

snow at very top of screen

I recently bought a Sony EX500 HD 46 inch TV.  I have noticed at the top of the screen there is a very thin line of interference, better described as a snow effect (black and white flecks of light).  It is not all channels, but it is on some.  Can someone suggest a remedy to get rid of the snow?

On Sat. 2/7/10 we had a snow storm hear in Morganville, NJ and the TV was fine during the entire event. The next snow storm was Weds/

Picture freezes, we receive weak signal and error messages.

Picture freezes, the picture goes black with white circles, then we may get weak signal or error messages. Eventually, reset messages.  Happens about every hour.  Started Thursday with a mix of snow and freezing rain.  I have checked the dish and it no longer has snow or ice on it.

Snow on dish

I lost my TV signal today I am told due to snow on the dish. . There is not a measurable amount of snow accumulation on the dish. The amount of accumulation is what I would call a "dusting". This does not make sense. I had Dish TV before DirecTV and only once had to clear the snow and it was a signi

Snow on Dish

When it snows, my DirecTV is gone. Not available.  Many Satellite dishes, regardless of who provides the service are out of luck when the snow falls.  Is there some way to heat the dish so the snow melts off. Seems like someone, some company has figured this out.  Please advise.

Snow on dish

We've had DTV since 94. WAY back then we were told to never put anything on our dish. When we have a wet snow our dish is covered and we lose reception. Has anything changed in a couple of decades? I don't have to pull out the ladder (though it WOULD be easier) to clean it off.

Snow in NJ

I've lost picture for an hour now in NJ because of a little snow. Very frustrating as I lose a signal in any snow or moderate rain storm. If cable had the NFL Sunday ticket I'd switch tomorrow and it's getting close to that regardless.
