Trying to watch TMN2 HD and TSN HD yesterday(Tues Sept 30) over 530...audio drops were terrible -every couple of minutes for several seconds. Other HD channels, and SD channels seemed fine.

Anyone else notice this?

Happens all the time, on any channel, randomly.
Not SC's fault though. It's the broadcaster that all provide a bad signal to SC but a good one to other providers.

That's one of the reasons I finally gave up on *C. I'm now with Dish. Anyone located in the US (for home away from home) want to buy a 530?

I found Audio drops on any channel HD or SD. Was watching the NHL game on CBCHD and it happened there to.

I also experience audio drop at times, but only on HD channels. I change the channel and immediately back and the audio always returns. A nuisance, but fixable. Other issue I have is video signal break-up on HD channels. Happens alot when it rains hard. Is this a common occurance with other Starchoice users of the 505 HD receiver. If so, what is the confirmed source of this problem and the fix?
