TNT HD very jerky video

NFL Network was jerky at the beginning for me, but it is much smoother now. I'm on the 129 satellite. This is obviously a Dish issue though. They need to clean up their act or I'll go to the minimum package allowed and back to cable.

As for the #1 provider... If you mean DirecTV... I ended my account early and after those unreturned receiver fees they tried to stick me with one day after they "sent" a recovery box that never arrived I will never deal with them again. They autocharged hundreds of dollars because of a fraudulent claim. Luckily my bank agreed with me and I was refunded. Only after that happened would DirecTV deal with me fairly. They are #1 at theft. That is about all.

It seems fine now. Just in time to watch the ending to an incredible game.

I saw the same issues with TNT-HD a few weeks ago while they were showing a movie. The SD channel was fine, but the HD channel had A LOT of dropped frames and was totally unwatchable.

Have you tried skipping back 30 seconds or a minute and re-watching the show? I've noticed that the frames seem to all be there; it seems to be playing back at normal speed when the frames get dropped. Pausing and advancing a single frame at a time shows all the frames seem to be there.

And it's more channels than TNT-HD and NFL-HD, too.

I believe that this is an issue at the uplink, when they are transcoding this stuff to MPEG4. To my knowledge, they are still receiving these HD Feeds (except HBO) in MPEG2.

Normal on the #1 provider .. smooth as can be on TNT-HD and NFL-HD

How about VS? Is it playing back smooth?

Lakes and Suns game last night on TNT was jerky some of the time. Other times it was fine.

I'm not seeing a jerkiness, but I am seeing a pause on many channels during a DVR playback, and even sometimes live.
