i've noticed this lately as well, after the initial signal quality
updates a couple of months back everything worked great for a while, but
in the last month or so i'm seeing some corruption errors as well. same
card, same machine, same signal theoretically. it seems to affect all
channels but it's still much better than before the signal quality
updates.

fyi,
