During the first half of Smallville, my audio and video would stop for a split second, there'd be a buzz then it would go back to normal. That happened about every 10-15 seconds during the first half of the show. It finally quit doing that during the scene when the cops shot Clark. Did anybody else have that problem, or is it just my stupid CW station(which screws up alot)??

I had problems both during Smallville and Supernatural. Could it be that the CW is one of the many stations who have switched to digital broadcasting already?

It's either that or DirecTV has been getting worse lately.

I have DishNetwork, but I had problems too. It seemed like everytime there was a Lois scene there was an audio glitch. It was really annoying. I kept thinking "Sound Effects by KMart".

I doubt the CW cares about this, really. After all, its only Thursday. I bet if it was Monday or Tuesday all of those problems would have been taken care of quickly, or have not occurred at all.

To be honest, I'm beginning to get very PO'd with the audio/visual problems.........but I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing that, I thought my TV was busted for a second. I can't believe we have to suffer through this digital switch crap, I don't even have a Hi Def TV and can't afford one at the moment, besides I'm happy with my TV as is, its better than none at all! Stupid Cox Communications and DirecTV!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad:

Yeah, me too! :mad: Then again, I don't know if I'm quite 'mad' as I feel more SAD :( and disappointed, because I won't get to see this Long Awaited New episode. I'm hoping I'll be able to watch it on the 'web'. If Not, then I hope that it'll be one of the Reruns they choose to play between the new episodes before the season finale.

I guess you've all surmised that I'm a 'Cloiser' ...and Proud of it, too. However, since I missed Clark revealing his secret to Lois and asking her to write his story, I'm just about Devastated, even with the 'clip' of that scene as a 'peek'. I Still wanted to see it within this episode and I Missed Out. :( I called my cable company earlier today to see if they could Fix the problem, because I had the same problem Monday night.

Whenever I try to tape two shows at the same time, one doesn't tape, and it's Not supposed to do that. To make things worse, usually I backup the DVR taping with a video taping manually by me, but I was unable to get home on time to do that! When I tried to watch tonight's episode from the beginning, it wasn't there! A Major DVR Malfunction!

They promised to call me and help me out tomorrow. I don't know what the cable co. can do, but it would be Great if they could Recover tonight's episode and allow me to watch it. I have Doubts about that happening, though. Anyway, did anyone else have problems of this magnitude? :\

BTW, does anyone know Where I might be able to see "Infamous" as a Full episode on the Internet?

I didn't really have audio problems but sometimes half of people's faces would go in and out of frame. It was really annoying.

Atleast I'm not the only one who had problems. In the past my CW station has gone to commercials during the middle of a scene and 1 time there was sound but no picture for 5 minutes. Luckily the no picture thing was a rerun but the commercials in the middle of a scene stuff was during the origional showing of "Lexmas"..

We had one transmission problem, with the picture pixelating a bit and sound off, but it went by quickly.

No problem here with audio or picture, One thing different was it was in full screen.

Cox Cable user here frustrated to no end by audio problems; the beginning before the credits and the end were fine but most of the middle was plagued with sound glitches like freezing and dropped words and the worst imaginable electronic screech and hum.

I was also one of those unlucky people whose running of the episode was delayed by the Big 12 Basketball game. Fortunately, the CW was actually kind enough to only delay the episode slightly over an hour and they didn't break into the show already in progress but started it from the beginning. Mixed blessing and curse; seems like they were getting a headstart on Friday the 13th.
