I'm interested in the answer to this was well. I have a DirecTV HR44 feeding a Marantz SR6012 with HDMI, in my own home that sometimes has audio dropouts when the Dolby Digital is enabled in the DirecTV audio settings.
I have an HR44 with this issue, as well. In my situation it happens mainly when I watch live TV. I believe it is triggered when DirecTV inserts a local ad into a national network (they are saved locally to the DVR and triggered with software, I’ve read). I’ found that it stops if I run a single replay command. Not sure if that would fix your drop outs.
