It's not limited to, but it does occur *more often* on my HD3000. Come
to think of it. This all started "around the time" I installed 0.20SVN
after the feature freeze. I need to keep better track of dates/times I
make changes (especially to SVN!).

At first I thought it was just the cable line since we were seeing
dropped frames through our cable box that we have directly connected
to the TV(for the HD channels Myth can't record). The cable guy came
and he said there were some issues, which he fixed. The cable box
connected directly to the TV was fine and his meter was showing no
issues on the line in the closet where my backend is. So now I seek
the advice of the sage's here =)
