I'm not recording HD with MythTv yet, but I am in the Chicago area, and 
I remembered about a month or so ago, a post on the AVSForum Chicago OTA 
thread about WLS-DT switching to a new encoder for their broadcasts, and 
this apparently caused problems for people with older ATSC receivers.

There was a post for the phone number at WLS-DT as well:

Phone is 312-750-7592, according to that post, in case anyone is 
interested in trying to contact their engineers.

I know you mentioned the problem seems to have spread beyond Chicago, 
but maybe stations if different markets are doing the same thing to the 
broadcast?
