dunno, i DVR'd it for later marathon viewing ;)

I had problems with two or three major (more than a second) dropouts.  I don't know if it was the weather, or a broadcast problem, though.

Same here, I had dropouts too...

(Edit to add that I was watching it OTA)

I too had 3-4 major drop outs as well...

It really got annoying, like a DVD that freezes in places or a HDD that needs repair.
I was surprised that this was coming from an O&O FOX station vs. some affilate's feed.
Let's all watch "24" tonight and see if this redevelops again.:(

I had one freeze all night... considering how crappy my reception has been on 6-1 during Packer games, I was pretty surprised it was this good.

Just a reminder, no one will be able to figure out the source of the drop outs unless we each state whether we're getting the drop outs OTA, on cable or on D*....

I had several dropouts via OTA. I then switched over to D* and had no dropouts but a few minor picture problems.

I had a few drops OTA, I figured it was just the weather.

I just talked to a tech at fox 6. He said they were using a new piece of gear. They have been trying to get it working right for the past 2 weeks. Some receivers are having a problem with the signal. They are going to put the old one back on line

Thank you for that update!
Figured something had changed.
Our future with DTV will I'm sure include more of this, and we will just
have to be patient till the bugs get worked out.

I also am having problems with Fox 6, both with Pixelation and dropouts.    Is there any ETA on when the old gear is going back in service?
