For this whole past week, evening prime time CBS programs have been mostly unlistenable. The balance between the dialog and the background music/noise has been way off with the background mostly drowning out the dialog. In addition, the whole audio track has been severely distorted making the listening experience a difficult and painful one. This is only happening on CBS programs and not other channels. The insertions by the local CBS station are clear and understandable (news breaks, local commercials, weather, news, etc). CSI MIAMI, NCIS, MENTALIST, CRIMINAL MINDS, FLASHPOINT, and others are examples. The problem is the same over the system speakers and headphones; both TVs in the house are affected.

My thinking is that this has to be a CBS feed to the local station problem. Reason is 1) only CBS programs are affected, and 2) the local news over the CBS station is clear.

Has anyone else heard this in the past week.
