Anyone notice some red lines streaking from up to down on some channels lately?

I already troubleshooted my tv, and it's not the tv, it works fine for dvd's, regular cable.

Thanks.

I was beginning to think I was seeing things. I haven’t noticed it on any HD channels, but from time to time I’ll see a vertical line in the middle of the screen, not red specifically but whatever the overwhelming primary color is on screen at the moment it happens. Kind of weird.

I have notice all sorts of PQ problems but not red lines. Occasional white line flashes but no more than that. Only saw that once.

It happens on almost any channel with me. Both SD & HD

They come and go, are about 2-3 inches up and down, and only happen in the middle of the screen, but always red!

They've been there since Voom started, nothing new unless it is on some HD channels.

"They've been there since Voom started" Not on my screen, this is recent for me.

Colored vertical line in the center of the screen on SD channels only. Right?
Reboot your STB and it will go away!

I noticed the "red line" for the first time this weekend. My wife was watching Bravo and she complained about this "line". Depending what solid colors were on the screen it was mostly red but sometimes green.

I changed channels and noted that it didn't appear on any other channel at that time.
