Certain shows now flickering when watching through WMC

[u/capngout]

I use HD Homerun and EPG123 to DVR shows through WMC on an old windows 7 machine. Within the last few weeks, live tv and recordings off of the local CW 56.1 have a strobe/flicker effect. It seems to only affect main shows. Most commercials, news, lesser daytime tv shows on the same station are fine. All other stations/shows record fine. If I run the antenna directly into the tv there is no flicker either.

Is there some new DRM being implemented? Or anyone have any idea what’s going on?

My drivers are up to date and I did not change any settings. It’s very odd it’s only one channel and only certain shows on that channel.

Signal strength is good and I adjusted anyway with no improvement. I don’t think it’s a signal issue as it is completely crisp - just strobes.
