Good Day.

In order to assist you further, can you please elaborate on your problem by providing additional details?

1. Which TV service do you subscribe to? Fibe TV, Fibe TV App or Satellite TV.
2. Are you experiencing this issue all of the time on channel 405
3. Which device are using to view this channel?
4. Do you experience this issue on any other channels?
5. If you are on Satellite TV, have you checked your connections? Dish alignment? Snow or ice build up?
6. Have you checked that your cords & cables are fully seated at the TV & at the receiver?
7. Do you have any Error Codes or messages on your tv screen? Have you rebooted your receiver by unplugging it, waiting 30 seconds & plugging it back in?

If you are on Satellite TV & nothing has changed with your picture & sound coming & going & you have no Error Codes, then I would do a receiver reset:

1. If you can’t see any picture on your TV or it is blank & then returns, reset your receiver by pressing and holding the POWER button for 5 seconds.
2. On your Satellite TV remote, press MENU.
3. Scroll to and select System Setup.
4. Scroll to and select Factory Defaults.
5. Read the warning and select Yes.

You can also try removing all of the cables on your receiver. Remove ALL inputs. Run Check Switch. It will fail. Then reconnect all of your cables & try running the Check Switch once again.

If your problem continues, you may need a tech visit to check out your LNB & dish. To reach Bell Satellite TV tech support, please call: 1 888 759-3474

Hopefully this has been of assistance to solving your picture & audio issue. If you are still having a problem after completing the above, then I would contact Bell TV Tech support.

Take care.

I have Bell Satellite tv and the issue is alot of picture distortion followed by audio cutting in and out. This happens every day on a on and off basis to a point at most times is unwatchable or to listen to. After checking every channel  theres is no other channel  except the 405. I have checked connection to tv except at satelite dish. no snow or other issue outside. I have tried a reset and even tried reinserting  card for freshdownload to no success.. The picture is a distotion and sometimes freezes where i have to reset but problem still remains it doesnt always freezes but seems like when picture distorts thats when the sound cuts in and out.

Not sure what I did today but I fixed the issue while resetting I checked all the cords also reset smart tv and replace a suspect electrical cord and recoonected everything and made sure no kinks or loose connections didnt seem like any real issue but when I turn everything back on 405 channel was perfect. usually if there was a problem it doesnt just effect one station.
