Sound dropout and black screen during packer games on Fox

Has anyone else experienced sound dropouts during the Packer game the last few weeks on Fox? This sound drop out occurs even in some commercials during the game.

Also during replay's, near the end of the replay the screen goes black, but sound still works.

This is getting very bad, especially the sound. Is this the local WLUK or the national feed from Fox?

I was experiencing the same

I was experiencing the same thing Sunday. The picture on the screen would freeze, yet I would still get sound. This made me conclude that it wasn't poor reception on my end but the station. Hopefully WLUK is aware of the issue.

When the dropouts happened

When the dropouts happened on WLUK, I switched to WFXS (FOX 55 out of Wausau) and there were a few of the same dropouts before it eventually stopped. I would bet it was a feed problem between the truck on site at the stadium and FOX HQ.

I could be wrong, but both stations had dropouts. I receive WLUK ALWAYS at 98% or above and WFXS hovers at 96-98% at all times except for poor weather, when it might drop to 94%.

I've noticed this when

I've noticed this when watching other programs on Fox 11. I noticed it last week when watching "Fringe" on Thursday night, sometimes there would be audio dropouts during the dialogue. It was annoying, hard to keep up with the story. My TV would also briefly display "no signal" during the worst of the dropouts. My guess is that it's a feed problem, if I notice it again I'll see if it's happening on FOX6 Milwaukee for a comparison.

I've been noticing this too.

I've been noticing this too. I had a friend down in Madison two weekends ago and he was watching the Packer's game and was seeing the same thing down there. It would freeze up but the sound would keep going. There's also been talk about it on the Madison AVS Forum. I also saw a mention of something somewhat similar from late September on MilwaukeeHDTV. I'm thinking it's a national problem. If they're having problems with sports, it might translate over to Primetime too, so that might explain that.
