How do we fix the bizarre static on Directv?

Our Directv started acting up about a week ago. When we push the “Guide” button, it gets all snowy and with distorted colors. Pushing “clear” fixes that problem for a few minutes, but then it starts in with halting picture (but still hear sound) and this small bar of static that works its way across and down the whole picture in rows along with a distortion in the sound quality. We can’t stand to watch, and Directv won’t send out a technician for two more weeks. Ideas? Thanks.

Sounds like you need to adjust your Satellite dish a little. If you can’t do it, you’ll just have to wait for the technician.

I’m with Misty and it sounds to me like your antenna is misaimed a bit. Do you know how to check your transponder signal strength? If so, go see what sort of numbers you are getting.

Dump the dish and switch to cable
