Anybody else get this? I have a 211 hooked up with HDMI/DVI to my Westinghouse LCD. At the very top of the screen is a flickering white line. Its only on standard definition channels and only happens some of the time. High definition channels are fine. I thought it was the cable so I swapped them out. Same thing. I'm gonna try changing to component to see if that works. I think the problem is only with the 211 but I'll admit I havent checked my dvd player. I will do this tonight, but was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this and could shed some light on it. Its really annoying.

My 211 is fine. Nothing like that happening.

I'm connected using an HDMI/DVI adapter and DVI cable to my LG Plasma.

Sounds like you are seeing the scan lines that contain closed captioning information.

I agree. Try moving the picture up on your screen.(tv menu)
Doesn't sound like a 211 problem at all.

I have the same prob but im not using HDMI. the flickering line is only on my 2nd TV using the out to TV jack to my second room and that port only supports SD. (I do not have a duel tuner) just a wild guess on my part but the screen size compatibility between you box and TV are not the same. Lackey for me I can drop a panel and re-set my horizontal and vertical lines to fix. The only down side to this is if you have other inputs such as DVD,XBox etc.... it might be off again
