Buck531 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 For the past two weeks or so the video has been cutting out, pixelating, and cutting out audio. It's happening on both HD and non HD tvs/boxes. It's getting so bad it's almost impossible to watch TV. Yep, I called WOW. Guy on the phone said it's Solar Flares and it'll happen for the next few weeks. Anyone else having this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrs.cos Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 It's only certain channels for us...it sucks. Tom for me its only Bravo and G4TV. Every single episode of Xplay is barely watchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturg1647545502 Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Solar flares? If someone told me that I'd steal their red swingline stapler and burn the building down. Call again and demand 3 days free for every 1 day of disruption anticipated. If not walk. Uverse is where its at, is call them and get some figures to throw out of wow gives you any static.
