Line Of Fire - Broadcast Problems (NO SPOILERS)

Please guys, don't post any info about the EP itself. I haven't watched it yet and neither may many of the people who had the same problem I did.

Did anyone else have significant problems with the broadcast? It may only be on the HD broadcast, and may be limited to my area or equipment. That's what I'd like to find out.

Here is what happened, did anyone else have this problem:

About 37 minutes in, it switched from HD to up-converted SD (or at least that what I think since it switched to 4:3 (letterboxed left and right) instead of 16:9). Much further in towards the end, It really freaked out and I was getting the left half of the 4:3 picture on the right side of my screen, the right half on the left side of my screen and the black bars in the middle. Closer to the end it went out all together. When it came back it was normal (HD 16:9) again.

Thank god I always duplicate stuff on the Dtivo or I'd have missed it all together. But stuff like this really pisses me off since this may be the last time I ever see "Line of Fire" and I was robbed of seeing it properly.

Ok, am I the ONLY one who had this problem? If so then somebody please speak up and at least say that. Maybe its my equipment.

If anyone else saw something similar please say so. If not, please say so to and let me know you were watching in HD and didn't see any problem, also let me know if you get ABC HD on Sat, Cable or OTA.

If I only hear from people outside Houston I'll assume it was a local prob (I was OTA) otherwise if someone from Houston says their OTA was fine I'll have to examine my reciever.

Thanks,
Mitkraft
