2nd show overlaps then takes over 1st

I was watching The Good Doctor on 6ABC. About 2/3 of the way through, Good Doctor started freezing and pixelating and then a different audio track started playing. I couldn't rewind but I could fast forward and when it "unfroze", the news took up the remainder of the time slot. We just had the dish itself fixed because of a crack in the dish's cone (receiver) so I'm wondering if this is a channel issue, box issue or still a dish issue! I've NEVER had that happen before in the 15 years I've been with DirecTV so I can't say whether resetting the box would make a difference. For all I know, it might never happen again, but I'd like to know what caused it in case it does.

Sounds like that station had a problem.
