Pixelating on local channel

Seeing pixelating on local station channel 12 cbs in Jackson MS. Been doing it for a couple of days now. Glad Directv Stream was finally able to fix the nbc and fox channels after a week or so but now it’s doing it on cbs station.

I followed all the instructions listed as I always do before posting an issue but the pixelating continues on all my devises on channel 12 cbs. This is obviously a problem on your end and needs to be fixed as soon as possible before it gets worse and becomes unwatchable.

It sounds like an issue with the feed from your Local CBS station.  Is this the only station you are having this issue with?  If this is the only channel that is affected then I would try and contact your local CBS station to see what they have to say it may be an issue that they are working to correct.

I would be proactive and at least contact your local broadcaster and report the issue to them.

Per DirecTV chat agent (useless btw), they blame the local channels. This is what they state:

Please be informed that, DIRECTV gets the local feeds from the local providers. The feeds are passed to DIRECTV customers. Sometimes the provider of that local channel(s) has a technical difficulty – which is often temporary. DIRECTV will work with the local station to resolve the issue.
