One local station keeps blinking out for 2-3 seconds but none of the others do it
I have Channel 6, WKMG, Orlando FL which is a CBS affiliate. For the past two weeks the channel will blink out for 2-3 seconds and then the sound will do the same. Never happens at the same time. Sometimes it will be just once and other times it will be multiples in a row. Happens during the shows and also during commercials. But it only happens on this one station and no others, local or otherwise. I have reset the DTV DVR/Receiver with no change.

This is an issue with the communication between your local TV station and DIRECTV, I suggest contacting your local TV station and since they are losing a viewer, the problem should be fixed in a couple weeks if not days.

Same exact thing is happening with me. Only the Orlando CBS station does this. I have reset the DVR multiple times but it keeps happening. Live or recorded CBS shows and it happens on all tvs and receivers in the house. When I watch that same station with an antenna, there is no problem. It must be between the station and Directv.

Thanks folks for your input and for contacting Directv. I tried contacting them via online chat but it kept dropping me. 4 times and an hour later and I gave up and decided to try this.

AT&T sold off 30% of DTV (and it appears they are selling off the rest soon to the same company) and no longer has anything to do with the day to day operations.

Almost always an issue with that station's feed to DirecTV. Contact the local station to ensure that they're aware of the issue.
