I concur, by switching to the SD (Standard Definition) channel in most cases you can keep the picture. The only time this doesn't work is when you have an HD channel only. Some of premium channels and those in the HD Tier do not an SD backup, otherwise it works great. During Hurricane Irma I never even lost the HD picture. Having about 150 hours of recorded programing available is always a good thing if you're stuck without a channel.

As mentioned by a previous poster, I have two neighbors who have Jail-broken Firesticks and get any local channel in America meaning they can watch any game. I heard not long ago they busted many of the vendors at the flea markets for selling those.
