Intermittent Outages on Fox News Channel (118)

[rodneysm]

Channel 118 has been cutting in and out since yesterday (Sunday, August 13, 2023) on both of my TVs that are on the Verizon  Fios network.  I am in Herndon  (Oak Hill) Virginia.  Does anyone know what the issue is, and if so, how do I correct it? Thanks.

Does that happen on the HD channel (618)?

I'm in the Boston area. I'll check 118 shortly.

[rodneysm]

Thanks for the quick reply.  618 is also cutting in and out.

Ok...just turned on channel 618. So far, so good.

Still looking good.

Does the fact that the problem is limited to only one feed (Fox News), but on both  channels, tell you anything?

[dexman]

The problem seems to be limited to Fox News's feed in your area.

The SD and HD channels use different frequencies.

I've watched the HD channel for more than 30 minutes and everything looks fine here in the Boston area. 

I would reach out to Verizon Customer Service.

Thanks -- will do.

I just talked with Verizon customer service, and they told me that ther is a problem in my area that should be corrected by day's end.  Thanks for your efforts.

Thank you for posting what Verizon found. 🙂
