I know what your talking about when it switches back and forth between HD and SD commercials you get burps etc. But that's not what I'm referring to.

It's right in the middle of the show and there appears to be no pixelation glitches associated with it. It even occurs on DVR recorded stuff and if I backup and play the same seqment again it won't repeat.

I think the "poor audio source" might be the key. I'm hoping. The FIFO assumes a clean signal. I suspect if you get a minor glitch in the stream the FIFO might have to flush and interrupt audio longer. But if the FIFO is off it may be able to recover without listener noticing it. This may explain why the TV internally works as it does not have such an exotic FIFO. It also probably explains why Meridian had to make it an option.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
