Pixelated is likely not enough signal. Are you connected with no splitters in the chain which would give you a best case test?
Yeah. I did a straight run from service coming into house directly to receiver. Every channel is crap. Only thing I can see is when I pull up the guide.
Frustrated now and have everything packed up and I'm returning it all and cancelling. Stick with Dish I guess and just deal with not being able to watch hockey
Have you considered just using a Roku or similar device? Lots of options with those.
They did system reboot which made it worse. Talked with someone on a call back that couldn't stop stuttering and was zero help. All they wanna do is charge me $70 to send a tech out even if it turns out to be a problem on their end, which it has to be. And ever since they did a system reboot it keeps rebooting over and over and over again by itself.
I think I'm done. Packing this stuff up and heading to comcast to tell to shove it where the sun doesn't shine

Imagine the stress you could have saved yourself by forking over the $70 at the beginning and just having them figure it out. Sometimes its worth it to pay someone else to do it.
Wanting to watch Hockey, in Indiana is the problem.
It is just not natural.
OP,
Did you install the amp / splitter we discussed earlier?
If so, you either have a cable issue or another bad STB.
If it were me, I would go with an antenna and streaming.
It is the way the industry is going.
Just to what I did.
Told tv/cable/dish f. U..
Gave it all up 10 years ago.
Get rid of them as well.
