Rogers ontario HD users: need your help on something

Hey folks,

Anyways, here's the thing, the last few days or so I have been having problems with Rogers Sportsnet HD channel (502) where everytime I go to it I get the video no problem but the audio on the channel I've been having a hard time to get my logitech Z-5500 headunit keeps saying when it occures, no optical source, BUT if I go on any other channel I get sound no problem.

To get the sound back on the channel I sometimes gotta flick back & forth between channels & then it comes in.

Anyone else gettin the same thing occuring latly ??

btw my box is the pace 551 one.

So it isn't the box per say as maybe the feed itself ?

It's to do with the set-top box decoding the feed...the mpeg decoder chipset might not like something in the feed.

Since we discussing glitches with Rogers HD... does anyone else experience a glitch when watching the HD ABC channel (527 I believe). It seems that pretty much any show that airs during the evening/night (primetime) gets very annoying glitches - usually about 1-2 seconds, and they seems to occur around the commercial breaks. It results in missing parts of the show... very, very annoying (and I assume it's caused by the signal switch from the commercial to the show, and vice versa... so maybe it's the sim-subers fault)?

Anywho... just curious if anyone else noticed this... I have the SA 8300 HDPVR connected to a Pioneer reciever for surround audio (and it has occurred on multiple HD8300's, so it's not an issue with one faulty STB)

I do not get any picture glitches on 527 but I have experienced the loss of sound issue on 502. I own a 3250 HD box. I just output sound to my TV.

HD NBC, hmmmm I have to do note that I find the sound levels seem to be unbalanced thru alot of the HD channels as in some sound louder then others like sportsnet as well I seem to have to find that I have to turn my volume up to like half to hear the guy talkin on hockey central at noon & prime time sports.

Same as I think 529 is it ... volumes to low most times.

Also I keep seeing showcase HD but the buggers don't have it on the channels up here in midland, lots of good shows on showcase that would benefit from being HD.
