Stutter only on ABC-HD...

[mrrrl]

Any one else getting a stutter every 20-30 seconds or so and just on ABC-HD. All my other channels are fine. Any ideas? Happens with live or recorded shows.

My brother had signal strength issues on certain stations. Some would skip or not tune until he replaced some old cords and got a signal booster.

I had similar issues when I started using Sage a year ago... the problem still persists. The workaround was to use a different MPEG decoder. The one that works the best for me was the Intervideo NonCSS decoder for Hauppauge. Though I still have issues from time to time, they are not as severe... i.e. only when menus are being displayed or when changing channels.

OTA, ABC is the only one that gives me issues. Content from my local affiliate (news, etc) is usually fine, but the ABC primetime feed has stuttering/signal drop issues more often than not (but much better than where it was a year ago, where the issues were 100% of the time)

I used to take the time to call 6ABC, and invariably they would mention some "issue" on their end, but i have stopped calling, and assume it is all them, and hope the full digital transition will help... (WHYY used to be the same way, but it was during their first round of transmitter upgrades and such, about 2 years ago)
