The old NEC DVD VCR combo did the same thing with the ABC signal before the VCR part died.
ABC analog when I turn off the set top box is fine, but the picture and sound , while clear as it can be , is jurky and jumpy if I am watching ABC stations (analog and digital via the DAC set top box . Was fine a couple of weeks ago . Before I bought the DAC there were an issue with SBS for several weeks.
Like I said, not so long ago , it was SBS analog and digital that was doing this , but SBS is fine now.
The commercial stations analog and digital are fine.
Anyone else getting this problem via their set top box or digital TV tuner ?
Is ABC working on it's transmiitters or repeater network (in prep for ABC3 which comes on air soon I hear) ?

Well, Torchwood and Red Dwarf on ABC2 have been almost unwatchable for the last couple of weeks.
I turned off the set top box and reverted to analog only ABC1 to watch Midsummer Murders , still had picture, sound break up but not near as bad, at least it was watchable and the dialog understandable.
There is no problem currently with SBS , Nine , Seven , Ten , Go! , or One , via the DA set-top box.
If the problem was the coax cables or the antenna , I would have picture problems on all digital stations I would think , not just ABC only. I can only deduce the problem is at the other end (something wrong at the transmitter or in ABC's hardware).
