Re: HOLES in network audio; KXAS CH 5 DFW (Dallas/Ft. Worth))
Watching CSI on the Spike channel last night, and before that "Silence of the Lamns" on USA Network. On both stations, any time something came in behind the dialog (like running water on CSI, and a squeaking lawn ornment on Silence of the Lambs) the audio signal would totally break up, sounding just like really bad tape dropouts. It was terrible!
