Pixels
While in the guide switching to a channel, that channel will Pixel for a minute before tuning in to a decent picture. What is going on here?
I'm using a roku on software 11.0.

TV pixelating, snowing, tiling, or ghosting are all forms of display picture degradation often caused by a weak signal. The pixelation squares that form on the screen represent packets of data that have not been received due to a weak signal. It will occur when the incoming TV signal is incomplete or weak.

That's not the issue. Tv is next to router with 500 download. Other TVs further away are fine.

As a first step, let's confirm which streaming devices, browsers, tablets, and TVs you can use to watch DIRECTV STREAM.
Please let me know how it goes.

@mhenry530 Maybe so but the fact is if the device is receiving the data quick enough then the image would not be pixelating. Simple. Why is another story.

Have you tried a different type of internet connection such as Ethernet or from Ethernet to WiFi? This could be a good option to improve your connectivity and minimize picture pixelation on your device.
In case these steps fail, please share with us the model of your Roku device.

I'm done troubleshooting this issue. So aggravating I see on the internet where a bunch of other users are having the same issue. Time to switch providers

Yep. That's most likely your best solution.

I tried a different Roku (10.5) that is not on Software version So your service is having issues with 11.0 as stated by other users as well.

I have the same issue with my Roku and with the Directv Box. I bought an Apple TV as well as a Fire TV Cube and Fire TV Stick, and there is no issue. Only with the Roku or the DTV proprietary box.

I've had a Dtv Stream box for 10 months and have never had any issues with changing channels. Picture is never fuzzy on change. Always clear.
Fact is---most people have the same experience as me. They create message boards for people to complain. Just b/c you see a few other people with the same issue doesn't mean its the service. It is your setup People don't sign up simply to praise the service. You either sign up to complain or are here to help.

There in lies the problem. I do have the issue, I have a very good internet connection, and I only have the issue with the ROUK and Osprey box, not Apple TV or Fire TV, so it's got to be something within those two devices which is causing it.
There is nothing wrong with my setup. If there was, I'd be experiencing this across all platforms not just the two.
I came here hoping someone might offer a solution other than, "stop complaining, you don't have a problem because I don't".
