HR21 Audio Dropouts

[jguy]

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.

I've been noticing more audio dropouts lately. This is just with the HDMI cable too. I'm using the national release and not a CE version either.

I don't have audio drops with any of my HD units. HDMI or optical. 2 feed through A/V units and one is directly connected to a 2.0 chnl TV.

So I take it this is no longer a wide spread issue with the HR21. Should I try to get it replaced?
