I recorded Sicko last night, and watched it this morning, and got some "macro blocking" I guess it's called a couple times during the recording........little multi colored blocks spread out over the screen, and once a scene where Moore's face kind of 'melted" if you will. Is this more likely a tuner problem or??? My 771 erroe issue on tuner 1 was solved by the replacement of my HR21, but I seem to get a fair amount of pixelating and breakup with this box, but can't positively say it's the box......yet. The other night I got this on channel 7(KGO), channeled up twice, and then back to 7, which should have put me on the other tuner, and it happened again, so that would kind of point to either the broadcast, or something other than the box, if I was indeed on the other tuner. Or, it could be specific to HD locals, because I can't recall seeing it on a national channel, but now this on a PPV channel, so I don't know. D8 sent a tech out last weekend for what I don't know. After sending me a new HR21, I told them I was getting pixelating, but no more 771 errors, and they said he would check everything out, and do a tuner test. Total crap, because they can't do any tests on the tuner. He replaced the connectors at the dish, just so he could get his monry, I'm sure, but that's it. Anyway, I'm rambling. Seems like quite a bit of this picture breakup crap to me.
