[TiVo] Is this my TiVo's fault, or over-compression by Comcast?

I recently watched a couple of HD episodes of Mad Men that my TiVo Premiere recorded recently (I think they were episodes 5 and 6 of this season ("The Runaways" and "The Strategy" respectively), and noticed in spots what I would describe as skipped frames, that made the video look weird for a few seconds while the audio sounded normal, and stayed in sync. It wasn't digital artifacting. Did anyone else notice something like that? I only noticed it in that show so I don't think it's my TiVo. Would too much video compression cause this?

No I have a Roamio Plus and saw no glitches of that type while watching Mad Men this year. It has to be something local to your setup.

Thanks for the feedback. Might be time to replace the HD in my unit (I have lifetime service).
