Yes, it is a hub, and I agree, when it first starting looking like a network
issue that is the first thing I thought of.  But for testing I took the
switch out of the F/E room and put it in place of the hub.  It had
absolutely no effect on the problem whatsoever.  Granted I didn't do major
testing.  I connected everything up and tested LiveTV on the F/E, which is
the spot where this issue is most evident.  As soon as I saw and heard the
video and audio breakups and dropouts I put everything back to the way it
was.
