- Channel Affected - CBS - WTAJ (10)
- Date - 9/24/2008 Weds.
- Time - 9:00 PM - ?
- Description of Issue - Best way I can describe the issue is that the picture and audio are stuttering. In other words the audio cuts out and the picture gets jumpy simultaneously. This isn't the first time I've noticed this but this was the worst I remember it being, making Criminal Minds almost unwatchable.
This is completely different than the "lip sync" issue most of us were experiencing when our locals first went HD. With that problem a couple taps of the instant replay button on the remote seemed to get the audio and video back in sync for me. With the issue I described above nothing seems to help.
* Channel Affected - WWCP/FOX (8) and WATM/ABC (23)
* Date - 10/20/2008
* Time - 7:25 Pm
* Description of Issue - The new HD feeds of WWCP and WATM are not showing up when the HD filter is applied to the guide. There is also no HD indicator for programming.

I am still under the 90 day warranty so I have tech coming out on Thursday to check my system. I kept telling them this is not a problem with my system, but they keep claiming that it is a signal strength issue.paragon said:
So we'll see Thursday.
I'll post what I find out Friday.
* Channel Affected - NBC 6
* Date - 10/27/2008
* Time - During Heroes
* Description of Issue - Moments of pixelation, shuttering picture, audio drop-outs that last about a second and then gone for a bit before coming back again, happened 8-10 times during Heroes.

As of this weekend I am still getting audio dropouts on all of the local HD stations. Mostly only 1 or 2 dropouts per show lasting about 3 seconds each, but that is enough to make watching difficult when you miss a key piece of dialog during the show.
I had a few friends that were waiting for HD locals to switch to directv, I've told them to hold off on switching until these issues are resolved. Hopefully that is soon.

# Description of Issue - Eagles/Giants game. Although the picture is not pixelizing, it is very 'stuttered'. The DD5.1 audio does not seem effected by this issue.

Does anyone know why over the air reception of channel 32 (WTAJ CBS-10) out of Altoona is so difficult? I've been trying to help my daughter in Warrior's Mark for months, and that is the one channel that gives me trouble. Ch 24 out of Altoona is fine. Is there a co-channel problem? Thanks.

I have noticed that since I received the new HD receiver software download WJAC has momentary picture freezing while the audio continues unaffected on everything from local to NBC programming - WJAC HD OTA and HD Cable are just fine - I have tried resetting the receiver and nothing helps - anyone else?
