Channels freezing

Why do channels freeze every few minutes, especially channels 2 and 5?  Sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes to come back on.

Could be a satellite reception issue. What your satellite signal readings?  What equipment do you have? When did the problem start?  Any on-screen error messages?

Sometimes these issues are caused by problems between the local station feeds and DirecTV's satellite link.

Hi, @vvebuckeye. We're sorry that channels 2 and 5 freeze every five minutes. Resetting your receiver often helps with issues like pixilation, bad picture, or trouble with sound. Visit https://www.directv.com/support/article/000093679 for more details. Veronica, DIRECTV Community Specialist
