I was wondering if people are still having audio dropouts on certain HD channels? I know this has been a well talked about issue with the HR21 but I haven't seen anything posted about it lately. I am still having problems on some of the newer HD channels. Also can anyone tell me if these audio dropouts are only affecting audio from the optical out, or is it a problem with HDMI out also? I am using the optical out from my HR21-700 to an Onkyo receiver. I have been able to live with this issue until my Sunday ticket started. I am paying to much for that package to be having audio problems. Thank you for your input.
