WITI (6-1) HD Picture Glitches

[Mark Strube]

I first noticed this last week Friday. A few times an hour, the picture will go off-center for a couple frames, and there's a very small "tick" in the audio when it happens. My guess is something with their reception, but I don't know much. I notice this on both OTA and TWC, only on this channel.

Anyone else notice this?

I noticed it also this past Monday watching Prison Break.  I didn't think much of it, since it only happened twice the entire hour.  Given the amount of glitches on the other local networks, I wasn't going to really complain about something so small IMO.  I would have to say that Fox 6 has the least number of drops and studders and breakups versus any of the other top networks.

[Mark Strube]

Agreed... just thought I'd bring it up.

With their abysmally low avg bitrate, that shouldn't be a surprise.

Well, they also don't mess with the signal... they just directly pass it thru from the network and have something that adds their little logo into the stream. I don't know if any of the other locals do that, but it would make sense that produces less errors.

I counted 5 of these errors during tonight's Prison Break. Stickied until it's solved, hopefully soon.

I didn't count, but I noticed a few as well.  I will try to count tonight during House if anything is there.

[Mark Strube]

No errors during tonight's House... however I was watching OTA this time. Anything on TWC?

I'm wondering if this my just be a Prison Break issue.  I don't recall seeing it any other time.  I watched football all day on Sunday with no errors.  Nothing tonight either.  I will be watching That 70's Show and The OC later this week and will report back.  I also was watching OTA, but I may try the Fox East feed on D* the next two nights if Mark is watching OTA.  This may help narrow things down a bit further.

It's not just Prison Break... this glitch happened about 5 times during Malcolm In The Middle a few weeks ago... and that time that was within one minute.

Noticed a few tonight watching the O.C.  There were 2 glitches at 7:33, about 10 seconds apart.  I was watching the national feed on D* channel 88 out of NY.

[Mark Strube]

Was it the same type of glitch where the picture goes kind of off-center for a few frames with a "click" sound glitch?

Yes it was.

[murdoc]

Watching Prison Break via D* channel 88 out of NYC.  Picture glitch at 8:05.  I didn't notice anything after this one.

Has anyone noticed this issue lately? If not, I'm unsticking this thread for now.
