This has been happening very frequently with all prime time HD shows on ABC. The audio makes a funny sound and then both audio and video drop for several seconds, during which time the screen is black. Don't know if this is a DTV or a local affiliate problem.

Anyone else in the Denver area experiencing this?

I would have to assume local problems, been good here, and I have not seen any other reports of this nature on ABC.

Anyone else in the Denver area experiencing this?Spokane here, and I have had some black outs but don't remember if it was on ABC. I have noticed a lot of stutter and other video problems on ABC though.

Happens here in TN too. I've been having this problem since the 10/21 update. I called Directv a few days ago and they said they were aware of the problem and were "trying" to fix it. I was also told to be patient because the new Directv/Tivo units were coming next year.

Next time ask them if they will "be patient" when your bill is due. Tell them you have some new checks coming out next year. I bet that will work. Suuuuure it will.

We have been experiencing this in Cleveland. It's always during the last couple minutes of the show, and I think it is every single ABC show, even daytime shows.

Anyone else in the Denver area experiencing this?Common issue since 029b update. It happens randomly to me, on random channels, and has happened on ABC before (just last night). ABC is also one of the culprits for stutter.

Same problem here for about the past week or so. Saw it last night on TXA21 when the Dallas Mavericks were playing the Spurs.
