? about my Local HD

[boston area dtv]

I have D* with the 5lnb dish. I cant figure out what the receiver is but I do know its the one that doesnt come in a DVR model.

The issue is this. While watching the local HD feed on a couple of different stations the all of sudden I hear his brrrrrrr sound and the picture goes black. It can happen two or three times a program and eventually I get fed up and switch to SD for a while.

Is that a hardware problem or a signal problem? It doesnt happen while viewing HD channels in the 70-79 channel range..only the locals.

So any input would be greatly appreciated.

Well I can accept that

Are you talking about the OTA locals or via DirecTV retransmission?

Have you called DirecTV or the affiliate's engineers yet?

I have not seen any other Boston area posts about issues, so I can assume for now its your hardware.

thanks Charper I figured Id take a shot here before calling the engineers or CSRs at D*.

As for the HD signal I was referring to the local HD via DirecTV retransmission.

sounds to me like a hardware issue but i would call directv and see if they have any reports of this. i have not seen any posts related to this issue
