    Just checking to see if anyone else in the St. Louis area is having this problem. Seems to be happening only on the local channels. Haven't seen it occurring on any of the national channels. Seems to be happening a lot on KTVI Channel 2 (Fox) and KMOV Channel 4 (CBS). It is happening on both the HR44 and on the HR24's we have.

    As the topic says, getting macroblocking/breaking up of video on the local channels.

    When I was watching the Red Wings / Blues game this weekend, KSDK kept macro blocking throughout

    It now seems to have gone away. It had been occurring for the last week or so. I checked the specific transponder signal levels last night for my locals and they were all in the mid 90's. Not sure what had been going on. Hope it doesn't come back.

    Did you check with the local station? Perhaps they had uplink problems.

    I had that problem with the Blues game on KSDK and also recordings of The Good Wife and Battle Creek on KMOV. I thought maybe my DVR was going bad because I had similar looking issues when a previous one went belly up.

    I think it may have something to do with the solar flares occurring. My local STL channels have been doing the same thing periodically in the last week.

    Why did VigLink (whatever that is) add a completely erroneous ebay link to the term "Blues game" in my post?
