Given the discussion - I spent this afternoon watching the Women's 800
Meter on WXII-TV, Winston-Salem, NC (over the air).
Over a two hour period, I saw only one "glitch" - a freeze in the
picture - which appeared to be something other than a bandwidth issue.
I did not see any issues that I normally see with their NORMAL
upconversion. In normal programming, the WXII-DT signal completely
pixelates to a shredded wheat image for 2-3 seconds every 15 to 20 minutes.
It would appear that issues are LOCAL for each viewer and station.
