Hi there! I understand your picture and sound on WNYT NewsChannel 13 are cutting in and out with continuous pixilating. That kind of intermittent video and audio disturbance can definitely interfere with your viewing experience.
To help you better, could you let me know how you’re receiving the channel? For example, are you watching over the air with an antenna, through a cable or satellite box, or via a streaming app? Also, have you noticed if this happens all the time or only during certain weather conditions, like rain?
Meanwhile, here are some general troubleshooting steps we can start with, especially if you’re using an over-the-air antenna:
1. Check Your Antenna Position: Make sure your antenna is pointed toward the closest broadcast tower for WNYT (which is usually north-northwest of Albany). Sometimes moving the antenna even a few feet can improve signal reception and stop pixilation.
2. Inspect the Antenna and Cables: Check that all connections are firmly plugged in and that cables aren't frayed or damaged.
3. Remove Interference: Electronics nearby can cause signal interference. Try moving any devices away from your antenna setup.
4. Weather Conditions: Rain or storms can disrupt the TV signal temporarily, causing cutting out or pixilation. If that’s the case, the issue should clear after the weather improves.
If you’re using cable, satellite, or streaming app, let me know, and we can look into steps specific to those.
Could you please tell me a bit more about your setup? That way I can provide more targeted guidance.
Are you watching with an antenna? If so, I’ve seen reports from others in the Albany area saying rain has sometimes affected over-the-air signal quality for WNYT1.
