ABC local channel flickering
It seems my local ABC channel flickers around every 30 - 40 seconds. This seems to be the only channel that this is happening on. Every other channel works fine. I have 5 DirecTV Streaming devices and it happens with ALL the devices. I also have 1Gig network, so bandwidth is no issue.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

This is most likely an issue with your local ABC station. You’ll need to get in contact with them. This isn’t an issue with DIRECTV STREAM because ABC sends them everything.

Even tho its not any equipment issues on my side because this happens on ALL 5 Directv Stream boxes, I changed the HDMI cable anyways just for sanity check.
This is something either with the TV station or Directv backend system.

OK...as I am watching Jeopardy on ABC it was flickering as usual, then it froze for about a second, the buffer spinner came on for about 15 seconds, it resume and the flicker has stopped...very strange.
Not sure if something was done in the Directv infrastructure. I will be checking my other boxes.
