I've been trying to figure out what the problem is for weeks now. I really hope someone can help me!
I got an HR21 about a month ago and from the start, I've had this problem where if I set it to 1080i, the picture will start fine, then begin to "sparkle" here and there over the screen in random places.
The sparkle will grow steadily until eventually it covers the screen and looks like this:

Here's where it gets weird...If I see the beginnings of the sparkle, and pause - the sparkle will still continue to grow until it consumes the screen.
The same happens with recorded programs.
The issue does not happen in 720p or lower.
It happens on both locals and other HD channels.
It does not happen on DVD or my Xbox 360 (1080p)
I've tried changing my HDMI cable, replaced those little Kband boxes, and tried component.
Is this a hard drive problem since it is happening on recorded shows?
On recorded shows, the sparkles don't always start at the same time, and sometimes not at all...on the same recording.
Maybe it is an interlacing problem, since my progressive scan resolutions seem to work fine?
The TV is a Sammy HLT6176 DLP
My cable run is kind of long - maybe over 100'. Would inline amps help?
..and most of all...does this explanation make sense? I've searched all over and my Google Fu is usually top notch, but I haven't been able to find anything that even remotely sounds like my problem.
Please help...the people that installed were 'difficult', so I'm hesitant to call D*, knowing they will try to send them back out to me.
Here are my transponder readings:
I hope I provided enough info!
