I have Comcast, & my tv does the exact same thing...& it only happens on the QVC channel. I'm also in the Seattle area.

It happens to me when I turn it off.

Maybe you burned out the qvc pic, haha when I first started watching qvc, it was on almost constantly, ended up burning the icon in red on to the tv screen. Not kidding!

QVC told me it's Comcast! How can this be when it's the ONLY channel that does this?

I hate Comcast so I said I'm not going to call them & report. QVC should address this with Comcast. Not the customer.

There are storms on the sun and warnings issued that they could interfere with the transmission of signals, TV, radio, etc.

Hi, gazelle77!

Last week when you posted about this, I switched QVC on and immediately saw the signal interruptions. And you're right, it was only that particular station. I have Comcast in Tennessee. It was so distracting I finally had to change to another station.

Didn't watch the Q much in the subsequent days, so I don't know how long the problem persisted.

I just checked, and it's no longer happening for me. It is possible for the signal to be good for certain channels and not others.

I get the digital "checkering" too sometimes. I swear it happens right when the program is getting good. I have TWC and it happened pretty bad a couple of months ago (I think) and when I called up they had a recording up that is was caused by solar flares. After a couple of days it passed. For me, it will happen on any channel I am on. Not just one.
