Philly CBS 8mm bug gone?

They might have fixed the CBS 8mm bug in Philly. Can anyone else confirm? I'm watching Letterman and motion is NOT causing the visual stuttering and it definitely did in the past. Leno still has it but I'm not seeing it on CBS anymore.

I'll have to tune to Fox & ABC later when they have an HD broadcast on.

I live in Philly, and haven't watched local CBS or NBC due to the 8mm effect on both (1080i feeds). I use the MPEG2 network channels from NYC for recording, watching, etc. But yesterday, NBC still had the 8mm effect on the Today Show. I will check it out tonight and see what happens, since there are no HD shows on right now.

Also, Fox and ABC never had the 8mm effect on my HR20, mainly because they use 720p, and that never suffered from 8mm.

Just checked it out on the Alabama-Auburn game, and lo and behold, 8mm effect is gone on Philly CBS feed. Still there on NBC (Notre Dame-Army game). One down, one to go. ABC and Fox are fine, and always have been (except for video/audio dropouts now and again).

The problem is Leno, not your TV :lol:

Has anyone been able to get the national NBCE, ABCE, CBSE, MPEG2 even if they have the MPEG4 locals? I'd like to request this from D* until they get NBC to stop stuttering or enable OTA. I'm in Boston and use HR20.

I have them (MPEG2s out of NYC), but I had them before the HR20 (using my Zenith HD receiver for D*). Still have them, but I expect they will be turned off, which I dread, since the MPEG4 locals are so unstable here in Philly. However, with the 8mm effect gone on CBS, only NBC remains to be ironed on at least on that front.
