Disconnects/TV freezes

Pixalated frozen picture and sound. This happens on each tv at the same time. I unplugged the router for 2 min and plugged back in. Still having the issue periodically.

My U-verse is doing the same thing. Freezing sound goes out. Everybody in the Nashville,tn area is doing the same thing. The trouble is in Nashville Main switch office. No one wants to fix problem. Please someone help has been doing this for three now.

Mike, I have the same problem. It has been happening at least 10 days (two weekends of football). Doing the Help..Information..Troubleshoot does not work, gives an error message. I have a friend in Brentwood with the same problem (both the pixalation and the Troubleshoot will not work). It is local channels only. I talked to ATT today and they say it is a problem with the company that provides the local channel feed to them ("Not our problem") and they are working with them to get it corrected. Looks like this is happening to all U-Verse customers in Nashville and still going on after 10 days. Yes I am frustrated too.

Yes I just lost all the locals also, completely unwatchable. I hope that means they are working on the problem and will get it fixed. I loaned my backup antenna to my niece, I will have to get it back. I hope they fix it.

Mike, I think our problem is fixed. Last night I did not notice any hesitation or pixelation and this morning it still seems good. The final test will be football later today. I am happy it is working, we have family coming in for the holiday. Hope your is working, Happy Thanksgiving.

I’ve had this problem with freezing and pixelation since they installed the new fiber optic service and new modem back in the spring. I was told by a tech that it is a widespread problem. When Direct TV took over your cable feed, the bandwidth was not wide enough for the equipment we are using (modem and TV box.) This is the problem. I’ve switched out both and still have the problem. This is an issue of the feed we are getting. Unfortunately, I live in a complex with and exclusive deal with AT&T. Hopefully I can get Direct TV streaming to correct this problem. It will take a lot of letters and phone calls. Hope this helps.
