<p class=MsoNormal>This might be better suited for one of the regional cable
forums, but for the life of me I can’t remember them at the moment.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>This might be specific to Lowell and surrounding areas, but
I started seeing video corruption on channel 804-WBZ-DT and I wanted to know
anyone else is seeing it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>With the start of the new TV season I only just started
recording shows on this channel again. My current recorded programs shows that
a gap in my recordings on this channel from May 26<sup>th</sup> to Sept 20<sup>th</sup>
so I am not sure when this happened.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I originally thought it might have had something to do with
an electrical service upgrade I just had done the week before. But that idea
went on the back burner when researching the issue pointed out it was only one
channel that did this and it occurred on every one of my HD5000’s.
Cablebox seems fine though. I eliminated the possibility of a bad amp by
bypassing it. Signal strength is a lower but the issue remained only on the
same channel. The other channel (806-WFXT-DT) on the same multiplex seems fine.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>When you start playback on one of the videos from this
channel you get a brief spot of pixelization before it clears up and plays
fine, but when you FFW/REW you get another burst of pixelization and then a
second later it clears up again. Also here is what you get in mythweb from the
preview generation <a

<p class=MsoNormal>So, anyone else seeing issues?<o:p></o:p></p>
