I recently made several posts regarding occasional picture break-up and pixilation, which prompted me to replace my external eSATA hard drive with a 2TB SSD (also eSATA). The jury is still out WRT whether this has completely resolved the pixelation issue.
However, over the past several weeks I have been experiencing a different signal quality issue on my local NBC station. It only occurs several times a week. The TV screen completely goes blank for a second or two and repeats the screen blanking several times before returning to normal. The NBC signal will then return to being stable for the rest of the evening. I have attached a link to a 30-second video on Dropbox of an occurrence of this strange issue that occurred last night. I would appreciate it if someone would view the video and suggest what might be happening.
Fortunately, the issue happened when I tuned into last night's live broadcast of Saturday Night Live on my bedroom HR24 at the same time the program was recording on the downstairs HR54. After experiencing the glitch on the HR24's live feed, I played the recording from the HR54, and the glitch was in the recording at the same spot as well. This seems like it rules out the DVR hardware as the root cause. So, what is the opinion--is it likely the actual local NBC signal, or could it be the LNB?
And suggestions would be appreciated.

Edit: Let me add that I have only seen this on the local NBC station, no other channels.
