HD Channels Blackout

THe last 2 days I had an HD channel go out on me on TWC.  Yesterday it was on CBS during Everybody Loves Raymond.  It happened 2 times during the show on 505, but the other HD channels were fine.

Today, it happened on Discovery HD durning the Hawaii show.  Both times the channel came back in a few min.  

Anybody else have this problem??:confused:

I had the problem with 505 (&506) on Sunday evening.  All the other HD channels were fine.  In the recent past my numerous blackouts and screen freeze were due to some electrical intererence in the cable lines that would hamper almost all my digital channels and even cause analog issues.  That was recently fixed by TWC however.

My suggestion would be to scan some other digital and HD stations when this happens to see if it is a problem with other channels.  When one digital channel starts freezing up or going black then certain others likely will also.  If this is the case then the problem is likely at your home (or outside your home).  

On Sunday night channel 505 (&506) were the only channels in the black so I'm guessing it was a TWC problem at TWC.  Anybody else notice this on Sunday evening around 9pm?

CBS has had a few issues over the past week.  In addiion, we are just about at the end of this fall's sun outage period, which affects all services once each day between noon and 4 pm.  Analog channels get interference---digitals usually tile, go dark for 5 minutes and then come back.
