Sucks. There is no word from them but there is basically a nationwide outage of channels 206-240. They aren't even answering their phones right now. I spent 40min on hold just to be dropped.

I wondered what was going on, was fine this morning watching gameday, and then I wake up from a nap, and it looks like its scrambled.

Good thing they don't have any good prime time games on those channels tonight. But still, it sucks if this ends up being something they can't fix rather quickly.

Yep, having the same issues as well. Not sure if this is it but isn't there a time of the year where there are "sun spots" and can cause pixelation issues?

I believe this to be a carefully orchestrated ruse. On a garbage weekend for football in general, there is Florida/Georgia going on right now. Divert all CFB viewers, then talk about ratings tomorrow. The “fans have spoken”.

Well...**** em. I’m watching pixelated Kansas State/Kansas instead.

Ours is super-scrambled, too. Recorded Simpsons reruns it is.

I tested youtube TV for a couple of weeks and liked it a lot. The only thing I remember hating was the DVR piece. Once you watched a show, it wouldn't go away. Seems like a small thing but it annoyed the hell out of me.
