I have a big problem with my external hard drive connected to my SA 8300 HD.

The problem: When I watch an HD program, I see pixelization up to 15 times per hour, even when I watch the program recorded or live. When I disconnect any external hard drive, the problem disappears.

I begin to suspect the hard drive itself, but the problem was there with a Maxtor 300gig (6L300S0) and still there with a Seagate 500gig (ST3500630AS).

Originally I have an eSATA external case: KingWin SS-350S-BK from TigerDirect.ca. I try theses 2 hard drives in this case, the problem is there.

I change the external case for the Sabrent EC-ESTS always from TigerDirect.ca. Same thing, the problem is still there.

I need your input about this annoying situation. Someone successfully match a Maxtor 300gigs or a Seagate 500gigs with an external eSATA case on a SA 8300HD ???

Thanks

Serco
