Watched West Wing tonight, which I recorded from last night on my 8300 DVR and it has sooooo many audio and visual dropouts it is annoying. A fair amount of pixelation and pauses in the audio and picture.

Anybody else notice the same?

I am in Pinellas county.

As an addendum....still watching the show.....and near the end....there is even a point where there is a dropout...and then alan alda's head starts bobbing back and forth for what seems like 20 or 30 seconds......with the picture caught in a little "endless loop" (although it eventually ends)....but the sound goes on.....

Then at one point, the bottom of the picture shifts about 4 inches from the bottom (kind of like a bottom-only letterbox) only to correct itself 5-10 minutes later.

Not sure if this is the dvr or the broadcast, but I expect it is the latter, since I have not seen this on other shows. The only other problem I have had so far with the dvr is when fox shows seemed to get chopped into multiple sub-shows.

I've had the problem with Medium on both 608 and 609 and if I had to guess I think the problem stems from the OTA antenna BHN is using to recieve the signal because I've got a lost signal message on both the SD 8300 and the HD 8300 boxes on both channel 608 and 609. I would expect these problems to be corrected by the time they have their official launch.
