7.3 audio issues?

Unread post by km1125 »

Does anyone else watch 7.3?

There are a few times recently when I've experienced intermittent audio dropouts. The dropouts are short - less than a second - and occur every few seconds. On one TV it's more pronounced than the other three. If I change the channel and come back to 7.3, it seems to go away for a few minutes, but eventually returns. Doesn't seem to happen all the time and I haven't noticed a pattern yet, as if it was only on certain shows or certain times.

I don't notice it on 7.2 or 7.1, but I also don't watch 7.2 very much. I do watch 7.1 more than 7.3 so if it was happening there I'd probably have noticed it by now. I rarely watch 7.4, so I don't know if it's happening there or not.

The reception on all three sets is OTA.

Well, I probably should have just lived with this issue. Now 7.3 is noticeably lower in volume than 7.2 or 7.1 on all my sets.

Annoying when you're flipping though channels.

Yesterday they did their weekly EAS test, and the audio was gone for 45 minutes after on 7.3, while audio was on the rest of their channels. The video even glitched out on 7.3 at one point, and it wasn't a signal issue, the signal was being transmitted, as if their feed of Laff was being interfered with at the studio.
