scrambled pixelated screen?

On one TV in my home....I can no longer watch Direct TV for this past week.      it is a pixelated screen as if I were to have cable or a satellite dish.  

We are internet based, so we project from electronic devices such as phones, tablets, computers.

I have projected from both my Iphone and my Ipad and same result.

I can project other software such as Amazon Prime and Netflix with no issues to the same TV

Then I projected Direct TV to my other TVs in my home....and all work fine.

why just this one TV?   

suggestions for a fix?      I wouldn't mind buying a new TV, but I am hoping it is not necessary

oh...and I am not using a device like the Google Chromecast.

this is the DTV satellite forum and you are posting about a DIRECTV STREAM matter. I would reinstall the DIRECTV stream app on the devices that are affected by pixelation and recheck your internet connection on those devices. They could possibly be too far from the router to obtain a reliable internet upload/download speed for DIRECTV stream.
