<br></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I'm a little late but I've had problems in the past on Wednesday nights. I'm in the north bay, using Comcast with a standard-def DTA into an analog PVR-500. The symptoms (when watching the recording in myth) were that the video would sort of freeze, then flash back and replay the last ~5 seconds, then jump forward to real-time again. It did this repeatedly, maybe every 10 seconds. It was quite annoying. I never watched it live direct from cable on another TV to see if it was a signal problem or a myth problem but it only ever happened on ABC, and we only ever noticed it on Wednesday nights. For what it's worth, I haven't seen these symptoms for maybe a month at least.<br>
