I'm having similar problems outside of Philadelphia (north of Pottstown), and I *AM* a digital subscriber.... VLC is reporting continuity errors on data piped in from the test_dvr app in dvb-apps. Things will be clear for maybe 30 seconds at a time, max, followed by burst of MPEG artifacts. I think Comcast's streams in this area might be hokie. That, or you have to be an HD subscriber for them to get it right :) --Matt
