6.1 Intermittenty Freezing?

[SRW1000]

Has anyone else noticed this?  For the past couple of weeks, the picture freezes and the audio is silent for a few seconds.  It happens a couple of times an hour.

This doesn't seem to be a reception dropout:  The signal and SNR meters are both fine, and I don't get an audible pop from the digital audio output.  It's happening on two different OTA tuners, so that doesn't seem to be the problem either.

Except I get is on D* channel 6 (HD feed). I notice it most during the Wake-up news from 5-9. It happens at least once every 15-20 minutes and lasts anywhere from 10-15 seconds.

First the audio drops out, then the screen freezes. Then I get a blue screen of death (actually more like a coma), and then the whole thing comes back on and is fine.

It makes sense that this is a 6.1 OTA signal problem since it also happens on D* 6 HD channel. I bet this doesn't happen on the analog 6 feed.

I was going to post this as a question here but you beat me to it. I am glad it is not my equipment.

Yes I also do experience this problem on 6.1OTA.  Also had drop out during the Packer game yesterday.

Uh..Packer game was on 58-1 yesterday. Speaking of 58-1, I noticed a freeze in the action shortly before the half on both of my sets. Still had good signal strength during the freeze. Must have been real cold up in Green Bay. :eek:

I started noticing this on Thanksgiving Day during ther pre-game show. It didn't matter if I tuned in OTA or via D*.

We don't watch much on Fox but last week during House it also happened. We now watch channel 88 for Fox5 out of NYC. No problems with that channel so it must be at Fox6 here.

Same issue here.  Checked signal quality with spectrum analyzer and it was perfect.  Still freezing.  Not a signal issue something with fox 6.  Have not noticed it lately though.

The problem is especially evident during tonight's 9:00 PM newscast, so it has not been fixed.

Are people still get freezes ?

The picture would froze for few seconds or more while the audio continues.

[Bebop]

Never minded, it seems to be either a software or hardware issue with with my HDHomeRun. 6-1 seems to be the only channel causing the problem.

[SRW1000]

I am still getting the freezes.

I sent an email to Channel 6 last week.  I got a short reply asking for more details, which I provided, and also supplied a link to this thread.

I haven't heard anything since then,, although I did send another email asking for an update.

If anyone else is also noticing this problem, I'd suggest also sending them an email.  If they hear from more than one person, they're more likely to act.

during the Packer game... in the last 10 minutes, it has happened 3 times.. each time it lasts about 10 seconds.

I'm watching Fox 6.1 OTA - using a HD20 DVR with D*.

Does anyone understand what is going on with this?

[mattg]

I was getting that too during the game.. must have happened at least 6 times.

my lg 3510 would report no signal for 10 - 15 seconds then it'd come back to nearly 75% signal.

I'm hoping it wasn't on my end.  I was just working in my attic yesterday.
