Anybody else having numerous video and audio freezes and stutters with NBC HD OTA on a D* DVR? Mine is the HR20-100. Saturday Night Live is almost unwatchable. At first I thought it must be weather related but not so sure anymore. No other channel seems to bother. It also happened during the Olympics and some during the Ryder Cup golf. :?:

It's probably reception of your local NBC station. DirecTV is probably receiving that signal with an antenna as opposed to a direct data link. I've seen that on one of our Atlanta stations from time to time. IIRC it comes across as green pixellation and looks different than a satellite signal problem.

Have you tried rescanning the channels with your DVR? I was experiencing the same thing recently with the local NBC with OTA on my DVR (though the tuner on my HDTV picked it up just fine). I rescanned the channels on my DVR and now the channel is picked up normally again.

Thanks gelect, that seems to have fixed it.
