The signal "loss" does seem to be related, at least for me, to black frames. It was particularly noticeable with Lost, on Channel4 yesterday, both during and just before and after ad breaks. ohdarklord is this the channel that you were watching? The only way I could regain the picture was to change channels, the sound continued on fine... It was so frequent that I gave up and switch back to viewing it on analogue.

Interestingly, the later episode on E4 had no signal loss issues at all. One noticable difference between the two channels is that Channel 4 has no watermark/logo whereas E4 does. Other programs that I've noticed signal loss with are Invasion and Derren Brown, both of which tend to have black frames and both of which were on Channel 4, hence had no watermark.

I'll try testing the theory when the same episodes are next shown on E4 and Channel 4.
