Verizon FiOS & Bill Maher - What Gives with the pixelation? Three weeks in a row, just Real Time.

All of my FiOS channels are perfect, except for the Real Time with Bill Maher.

The show is constantly pixelated, freezes every minute or so, and the audio keeps cutting off and on.

===

This is just happening to Real Time, for the past several weeks. All other stations are perfect HD quality.

Does anyone else experience this? My region is Metro Philly, in South Jersey.

Update: Standard Definition works fine, the HD channel is screwed up.

FiOS never lets me down. I lost my Internet twice in 7 years (30 mins at 2AM, Hurricane Sandy). TheBlackAdder Jan 2015 #2

Never had an issue with Verizon FiOS in the 'burbs.

Now we are slaves of Komradecast in Center City.

I used to have Comcast and lost Internet all of the time, and if I lost it, it would take 3 days to get someone to fix it, unless I could get 5 other neighbors to call in the problem. It's gotta be the feed, but I'm surprised that it's only this transmission that's failing since the new year. I called my brother-in-law, down the street, and his Comcast Xfinity is clear.

There is something with HBO and Verizon.
