While watching American Idol tonight Fox kept boxing up sound keeps cutting out at points it look like a heat camera. Who's fault is this Dish, Fox or Local Fox feed from WWCP Fox TV 8?

I was also having a major problem with American Idol tonight. As usual, I DVR'd the show on my ViP 722 in HD on WPGH (Ch. 53) in Pittsburh, but when I played it back around 9 PM, it was all pixelated and never cleared up. The really strange thing is, when I would start fast-forwarding (not 30-sec jump) the show, the picture would look clear as it advanced forward at 4x speed, 15x speed, etc. But when I'd hit play, no luck, still looked like sh--, well, you know!! It was somewhat watchable, but about 15-20 mins. in, the screen started to turn all yellow and the audio would cut out completely.

Luckily, I had the show taping in SD on my other DVR (525) and it played back fine!! Anyone have any info as to why this happened?

I watched it on my DVR in HD not sure how it played live. Wonder if it's a dvr problem or if it did it live too

Why do HI subs get so few HD channels?
