I hope someone can help me - Toshiba Tech Support sure can't.
I've got a brand new Tosh 34HF81 HDTV, and the DST 3000 HD tuner to go with it. I've got an antenna in the attic that I've used for years with no problems.
The first time I hooked it all up, I got all the local stations that are offered. However, after a while, I started to notice how certain parts of the picture would briefly freeze up or slew sideways a little, and then maybe the whole picture might freeze (for a second or two). The audio seemed to skip independently of the video, ie, the audio would skip with good video, then the video pixels would slew and freeze, then both would freeze together, then it'd be fine, then something else would freeze up. This seems to happen mostly on ABC, but I've occasionally noticed it on other channels as well.
Tosh had no idea over the phone, and offered to switch it out. (I took them up on it because of a separate problem that got fixed.) The new one still does it. When I pulled #2 out of the box, at first a Search didn't find the 2 local ABC broadcasts. Now it has it, but there's a lot of freezing up on it.
Lastly, I notice when the camera is panning across a graphic-intense frame (like the inside of a cathedral), the picture seems to "freeze-frame" so quickly that it's almost imperceptible - almost. It's ends up being so irritating you can't watch the program.
I'm using the component cables that came with the DST. I'll try better cables, but I don't think that's it because other stations come in fine.
Anybody run into this problem? From the last month or so it doesn't look like it....
