I’m wondering if anyone can help… I just upgraded to a Shaw HDPVR and while there is an improvement in picture quality over SD, I’m noticing it isn’t consistent (and as dramatic as it should be, according to my wife). For example watching the basketball game, there times were the clarity was great but other times (usually for short lengths of time) where the picture wasn’t all that great. It’s hard to explain but it reminded me a bit of when you have a slightly loose (coaxial?) cable connection and a hint of fuzziness/static creeps into the picture. Not blatant 'noise' but enough that made me think it wasn't quite right.

It is a 3412 model (I assume refurbished) and connected by an HDMI cable. I've read in other forums that some people have had problems with HDMI cables but most of those forums were old and I’m not sure if that’s still an issue or not.

Does this problem sound familiar to anyone?
