ABC STL region brief video lag persistent
I have a Directv Satellite Dish for years in the St. Louis region in Illinois. Recently, we've noticed a video glitch/skip that is occurring persistently. Audio is never disrupted, but the video picture will freeze a split second and then jump right back in sync with audio. This occurs about every 15 to 45 seconds. I noticed it on Sunday and again Wednesday. I reached out to another neighbor who has a similar setup, and they saw the same issue. I switched to the Directv app on my phone and on the tv, and the glitch/skip never occurs.
I've checked all other local channels in St. Louis, and none of them have this problem except ABC KDNL . I checked various other channels like ESPN, HGTV, FREEFORM, ION, etc . None of those are showing a glitch/skip either. It's annoying to watch . I have other options but I would rather not have to switch to the Directv app when I have no issues watching any other channel.

ABC is still glitching/skipping as of 29 Nov while watching the Alabama vs Auburn college football game. Also in the STL area.

I am having the same issue. It only seems to occur during the evening and I typically only watch ABC on Saturday nights. The video was so choppy tonight that it was almost unwatchable.
