I thought I might give it a shot to ask if anyone on here is having glitchy reception of KFOR. My cable headend that I maintain has been having very intermittent signal levels of it for a few days now, and I thought it was just something wrong here. Today, however, I was in Hobart all day and was watching KFOR on their cable system (CableONE) and I noticed that they were having the exact same reception issues I was having in Carnegie. Basically, about every minute or so, the screen just pixellates and the audio garbles up for a second or two. Is anyone else out there seeing this or have any suggestions? Our cable headend antennas are 275 feet up and I’ve seen the same thing on both our yagi antennas and a parabolic UHF dish antenna, both located up that high.

I noticed a similar issue during Meet the Press Sunday morning. I was downstairs where I stream programming to my Apple TV and it was breaking up more than usual. I did not look at the recording I made to see if it was in the original feed. I’m in Stillwater so this may be a problem overall with their signal.

Dennis, thanks for your info on this. I’m still seeing it today both at home and in Hobart. I will call someone at KFOR tomorrow and see if there really is a problem. I hoped maybe someone else out there might chime in and tell us if they’re seeing this too.

They mentioned on their news earlier in the week that they were having some sort of technical difficulties, and that their engineers were working to correct the problem. I do not believe the problem is only in SW Oklahoma. I have one TV in my home on antenna and am having difficulties receiving them here in the city as well.

I saw a post on their website saying that they were having problems. Thanks to everyone for their replies, though. I thought I had a problem here.
