Audio drops on Comcast HD channels
I am experiencing intermittent .5 - 1 second audio drops on HD programming, which is through Comcast.
- I have a Motorola HD-DVR DCT 3416 I connected via HDMI to my Panny plasma (for video) and a digital optical cable (for audio) to my non-HDMI-ready receiver.
- I experience the .5 - 1 second intermittent sound drops regularly on NatGeoHD, Palladia, MLB Network and now most recently Fox HD.
- The sound drops happen whether I watch "live" or record, and if I rewind the drop will either disappear or appear in a different spot.
I have tried unplugging the Motorola box for upwards of five minutes (I read that somewhere) but that didn't do anything...
I am frustrated beyond belief.
thx
Rich

Inappropriate?Mark,
I had a call from Comcast Technical Support last night (I have a service call scheduled for this week to look into the audio issue) and the signal was resent to the DVR. The drops are still there as before, on a certain block of channels.
I’m frustrated
