Do you mean like suddenly it goes silent for 4 or 5 seconds and then comes back... or suddenly it goes silent for 4 or 5 seconds followed by video pixelation?
Sometimes for me it goes silent right after the last ad and the program is silent until I change channels. For sure it isn't the tv. Has happened with both old and new tv.

In the west. Had it happen to me a couple of times over the weekend (722k). However, when I went back 5 seconds, the same clip played with sound. I thought it was my TV, but I've never had this issue with other devices connected to the TV.
Possibly on a related note, some of my DVR recordings start off with no picture/sound for 10-15 seconds. I also recently connected my external drive, and it takes roughly 1 minute to transfer every 10 minutes of programming (an hour-long show takes 6 minutes... pretty slow). I'm not sure if the box is faulty, or this is expected behavior.

I got about 3-4 days without a dropout and was going to report it, then last night -- there it was again...
We've been seeing audio and video dropouts on our VIP722, usually from the San Francisco Fox affiliate. Saw it during the Super Bowl, the Glee that followed it, and from Bones that recorded last week. The symptoms are audio dropout and partial-screen video pixillation. Total length of the event is usually about 3 seconds.

Sound like a Dish answer when they don't have a F-ing clue.Tons of dropouts on SyFy tonight.
Come on guys, if you can't figure it out, just reboot the system and see if it goes away, it can't hurt
I have been basically snowed in for the last week and a half, so the tv has been on a lot and I haven't noticed any audio dropouts in the past week. I was seeing them pretty regularly there for a while
Tried watching V with my oldest daughter last night and the drop outs were long at times and throughout the entire show. It is getting worse. I have it on my 622 EA, didn't notice it yet my 722s.
Drop outs on the Grammys OTA.... 32.1 922
Edit: time shifting 30 minutes in to the program.

Yes many drop outs on the Grammys. Wondering if it is a CBS problem, and/or done on purpose for FCC regs.. If someone was watching directly from their antenna not through a dish box it would help to determine...
I was getting them from my NY Directv feed , getting them from my Dish local as well, but not in the same places...
If it's Lady Gaga performing, it may be for the best . I have reported the dropouts several times, haven't forgot about you guys.

I'll have to check the west feed from Directv LA for dropouts... (Grandfathered for distants the reason I kept / keep Directv)
