Noticed this a bunch of times watching "Cops" on Spike, when the outside scenes looked very washed out with the whites, but it was tolerable. But watching the Hoth scenes in "Empire Strikes Back" today made it next to unwatchable. Anything white drowns out every other color, and it's becoming very irritating. No other channel is this happening, only on Spike.
Is it a Spike problem? Does Cablevision control any aspects of the quality of the retransmissions? I'm just wondering if it's only on my system or if it's happening system-wide. To simply say to call Spike seems a little too simplistic for me.
Start by calling Cablevision. They'll get in touch with Spike if it's something on their end. The best way to troubleshoot is to start with you and work backwards.
