Why are these TV problems intermittent? ARRGHH!!!
2013 Itasca Ellipse 42QD. 2 Direct TV receivers. 2 unrelated(?) problems.
Problem #1
Occasionally, of course it is only occasionally, I will get "no signal" display on bedroom TV. Tried rebooting receiver to no avail. Tried switching to 2nd receiver and have it display in bedroom. Same result, "no signal".
During the "no signal" period for bedroom TV, both receivers will display on living room TV without issue. Later, hours or next day, bedroom TV will operate just fine. No issues.
I have not spoken with Direct about this as I think it may have to do the HDMI 4X4 device in AV cabinet.
Any thoughts?
Problem #2
Occasionally, again, one receiver will display on TV screen some green sparkles (?). Second receiver does not do this. Sometimes they are just on the screen in a couple of places and sometimes the dots seem to outline an object on screen like a lamp or chair. These dots don't obscure anything on the screen they are just there.
These dots appear on both recorded and "live" broadcasts.
This one may be a receiver issue with Direct.
I know that if these are the biggest problems in my life I don't have much to complain about but they sure are irritating.
