Lost and others breaking up

[snodgrass23]

Anybody else having issues with ABC? I'm getting it through DirecTV and it's been cutting out, especially the audio for a few days now. I first noticed with Lost on Thursday night where it was unwatchable. I switched to it today to watch some basketball and it's still cutting out.

I am getting the same thing and yes LOST was horrible.

I think it's something on ABC's side - I am through TW - but I have been having the same problems with ABC for ages, it always cuts out and the audio is always dropping during lost, usually when it's important. Commercials are usually fine I have noticed. =P

Also, ABC and ESPN (2 as well) all seem to flicker blue/red quite a bit. I think it's something to do with 720p.

I've seen the dropouts with Lost, but have also been experiencing blanking with ESPNHD (watching the Big East tournament games). There are these half-second long stretches of black frames that seem to occur 4 or 5 times per game. I've also noticed 'em during Sports Center.

Could this be some kind of ABC/Disney/ESPN conspiracy to drive HD viewers nuts? ;)

Could be the provider feeds. My OTA feed has been fine. I just watched my Lost recording last night and I did not have one dropout.
