Mark5 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Does anybody else have those reception hiccups when watching in HD? The digital squares show up, you lose audio for a few seconds then it does it again about every 20 seconds. I have the gold plated cables and this wasn't really a problem till about 3 weeks ago. I've re-hooked up the cables and I'm thinking it may end up being my cable DVR box because I have had to reboot (totally unplug the DVR) BECAUSE MY PAUSE and such wouldn't work right starting about a month ago. Is this just something you have to put up with watching in HD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know a lot about this, but (depending on the cabling in your home) an amplifier on the signal running through your walls to the jack might help. I recently had some symptoms similar to what you are describing and that is what the tech from Comcast did for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark5 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 I have had the cable company out at least 5 times in the last few months fiddling with the amp when I was have computer problems.. We may be on to something!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Irish Doggy Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 (edited) Sounds like strength of signal issue to me as I've had a similar problem. Ask your neighbors if they are having problems too. I'd have the cable company out to check the wires and signal strength. For my problem, Time Warner ended up replacing a large stretch of wire out at the poles that squirrels most likely damaged.

Avernus Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 sometimes it is just the particular channel that is having problems or the program... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
