I concur. Nearly every day and not just on local programming. It also occurred yesterday during NASCAR race on channel 26.
20 nbc and 26 abc are owned by the same company. i am seeing that the dropouts occur at the beginning of shows or after the local news cuts in to air their crap.
After getting new HD TV, I found that I was getting 10 decodable fractional HD channels thru Comcast basic service, including all the SWFL locals and two different HD PBS channels with different lineups (WGCU) and resolutions.

Need to keep Comcast for broadband service. And these Comcast locals for Naples seem much better quality than those from DirecTV.

Shows like NOVA afford most thrilling HD experience I've seen so far.

not really an issue with Directv then.
Just sent an email off to NBC and ABC about this dropout problem. hopefully I will hear a response and not a form email.
Is anyone else having trouble with the Ft Myers HD locals (searching for satellite)? My SD locals are fine, just the HD locals on Wednesday and Tuesday evening (28 and 29 November). Thanks.
