Pixelation and Audio issues on recordings

[gadgtfreek]

Im starting to see random lines pop up across the screen and some slight pixelation in very small spots. Also, now when I hit the play button after FFing thru commericals, it takes about 3 secs for the audio comes back.

Is this a box problem or my ext HDD?

The lines and pixelation are infrequent, but they werent there a week ago and it happens on different OTA channels.

Just checked, OTASS and SWM-8 SS's are A-OK

Its actually doing the green pixelation without audio loss during live viewing now. This sucks.

What channels? I am not seeing this on anything I am watching or have watched tonight. CNN, ESPN chnls, HBO, STARZ, TBS, TNT, my locals.

OTA, NBC FOX and CBS so far during playback of recordings.

Well, after more viewing Im getting it on Fox, NBC and CBS.

OTA SS's are good, and its doing it live now too. Its very small, and rare, but it wasnt happening 2 weeks ago. I had some bad breakup during the parade, so I immediately swapped to my mpeg4 local and it was doing the same thing.

I really dont know what the issue is.

Well, finished completely scanning sectors of the ext HDD, nothing wrong. Guess the issues Im seeing are all OTA related, just strange I saw them on multiple channels.
