Those artifacts sound like what I was seeing (also on Fox, BTW). Mine
were not quite as bad as you describe, nor as frequent.
However, my signal strength was pegged (100%) not just over 80%, and I
was using OTA reception not cable.
To the best of my knowledge the 1010xxxx devices are the same hardware
as the 1012xxxxx devices.
