Can H3 cause this issue

While watching live programming with my H3 I occasionally get a momentary picture break up. If I rewind the DVR and watch the same spot where the break up originally occurred I don't see the break up of the picture.
My question is. Can this issue be attributed to the H3? I would think if the H3 was causing the issue I would see the issue during playback.
 
I'm not sure if it's the same situation, but whenever I'm watching something where something has been previous recorded I get a quick break up whenever a recording stops.

Say I recorded the show at 10 pm... if I tune into the recording for the 11 o'clock news I see a bit of a break up when the 10 pm recording stops. My Hopper has been doing that for a long time.
 
I get exactly this too, sometimes. I have found that when this does happen, I can rewind several seconds and just watch from there (a few seconds delayed from live) and it will be okay.
I think it is some sort of H3 bug.

I would say it has to be the H3.

If the source were bad the H3 would record the bad picture and have it bad every time you played it (the H3 cannot correct a bad picture).
It looks like the H3 took a good source recorded it good but corrupted it the first time it sent it to the TV.

I never watch live and so never saw this problem but this is what I think must be happening because I do not believe the H3 really has any way of correcting a bad source.

Same here. Been seeing that happen on and off for ages now when watching delayed live programming, across a couple different H3's that I've had. Just hit Skip Back once or twice, and it usually subsides. Seems more prevalent on some software releases than others, but never 100% goes away. One of those persistent bugs I've grown to live with.
