Went to visit my mother, she was watching TPiR and said hers does it, and it even does it on other shows such as Jeopardy, etc but I've never noticed it because I hardly catch other shows on that channel anymore. I rewound her DVR back and sure enough, in the same exact spot, a cut out and 2 seconds of black. She said when hers does it, it's always 2 minutes into each program, and that's all, just like mine. She has Dish Net though, and not DTV. So, now that I found out for sure it's not the equipment, maybe its time to contact WBNS. It's not a big deal but it gets super annoying. My fiance works for the local cable company, so I'm going to see if she hears any problems about it there.[/quote]
One of the biggest hurdles we've been facing at my station is convincing the kids in the newsroom who usually answer the incoming phone calls that we tech folk actually do like talking to people who are having problems, especially with this little digital transition thing coming up. Since we have no way of actually sampling our own signal from all over the viewing area, we depend heavily on phone calls from people who are having problems so we can get them fixed. I know that sounds rather stupidly optimistic and p.r.-ish, but it really is true, at least at my station. Seriously, drop them an e-mail--they may know there's a problem and can tell you what's going on, or they may not know about it. It's also possible--very possible--that they're seeing the same thing there, but think it's just something in their monitoring and it's not going out like that. Drop 'em an e-mail and let 'em know--they'll be glad you did...
