How often do you guys get quick audio cut outs on HD channels?

I get random intermittant audio cut outs on ALL HD channels.  I have called multiple times and the guy replaced my splitter,says all my signal levels are just fine, and even replaced the line from my house to the pole since it was old.

I am still getting audio cut outs intermittantly and it is very irritating.  Kind of ruins shows when you can't understand what people just said or it cuts out during Idol singing....

Is this just the norm for HD?

I get an audio cutout every time, it seems, I watch NBC's HD feed.

I don't remember getting one on FOX or ABC.

I very rarely remember audio cutout on CBS, during CSI.  VERY rarely.  Like 1 or 2 times.

It generally happens on NBC, in my experience.

I don't ever remember an audio cutout on HDNET, HDNET Movies, INHD, DiscHD or Univ HD.  In fact, those channels seem to be better overall, on average, than the network HD feeds.  

Maybe that is just because I watch network feeds way more often.  :)

Last few nights, I'm getting cut outs frequently on Fox6 when the national feed cuts to the local feed (local spots, promos, news begins)...

I'm getting them at least 2-3 times during Idol.  On the other networks, it's pretty infrequent (so much so, I don't remember them), but on Fox 6 HD OTA, I get them too often.  My OTA signal for OTA 6 HD is always in the high 80's.

How mine happens is:  watching Idol and all of a sudden, the sound is gone, picture is looks fine, and then some seconds later, the picture pixelates very quickly, then the sound comes back.

Not sure how to fix it, if it's my issue, or if it's an issue with Fox 6 OTA.
