    MPEG4 ch's drop out 8-9pm

    for the last month or so, both my HR20-700 and H20-600 have been pixelating something awful between 8-9pm consistently. weather doesn't seem to be a factor nor does heat. reception has been fine during some severe storms, and while I have a lot of trees in my yard, reception has been fine...
