What you're seeing is satellite interference. To get the local ABC, CBS, NBC stations out of Orlando, cable companies use satellite reception. (Don't laugh.) In local bad weather the signal is deteriorated. First goes the sound, then the video will pixelate and then freeze if the carrier is lost. Their dish makes adjustments to regain the signal .
Not much you can do but complain. But it's useless because...
No system of TV reception is perfect, even rooftop antennas can have problems.
