CBS HD station, comcast New England (Boston)

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Some issues here. Anyone else noticing the dropout of audio on commercials,
cutaways, studio cuts, etc? The game is fine, no problems there, but there
is no audio on anything other than the feature presentation. This happened
last night during the broadcast of Lost. Is it me? Comcast? the National
feed? Just curious here.

Thanks,
Matt Oliphant

OK, I figured it out. For some reason the audio had no problems being fed
digitally through an optical cable to my receiver during HD scenes, but
anytime there was a non-HD scene, audio dropped out. Upon switching my audio
to the analog red and black RCA cables, all audio was fine, albeit
non-digital and if it was being broadcast (Lost perhaps?) non-5.1 Dolby.
Any ideas why my audio would cut out on the digital feed only?
