I also have the same issue. It is bad enough that rather than using the HD local programming, I have been using the local antenna HD feed to watch locals. I am an original DTV customer from 1994 and they have really blown it with this HD "upgrade". I have talked to customer service about all...

Fredkuch, That is a pretty good theory for what is happening although occasionally I do lose a few seconds of sound during a show every now and then. I find it really iritating! Mark
