You are right, I only described it in a previous posting.

What I see is a sudden patch of digital noise / pixelisation, often 
associated with a chirping sound in the audio.  This might happen every 
few seconds for a while then go away for a minute or two, only to return 
randomly.  Also it is of various severities, sometimes just a minor 
fuzzy pixel patch, sometime a large streak of random colour pixels. 
Sometimes the audio just skips a bit, other times it is a very loud 
noise burst.

Does that sound like anything you've seen before?
