Channel 54 is so pixilated that it is absolutely unwatchable. I think I am going to have to consider switching to Cable Onda in January.

For the last several days, channel 56 (Fox News) has been very hard to watch. The picture have been alright and the sound has been alright. So what is my problem? Well, the syncing of sound to picture has been way off. Last night is was as much as 10 seconds out of sync. Very [...]
