Why is there so much distortion on certain channels?

Some channels such as Discovery ID are often so distorted that it is a waste of time to try and watch them.  Could it be a mini-box issue or is it the satellite feed?

    tsteph,

    Is the cable straight from the wall to the mini box or is there a splitter?

    It's coming straight in and the problem is usually only on Discovery Network channels.  It looks exactly like the problem of solar interference we used to get twice a year when we used a satellite receiver.

    Please swap the ends of the cable, what's in the wall put in the receiver and vice versa. Please let us know if the issue continues.
