CBS - NCAA finals - freezing & going out

[a4wanman]

I'm in upstate South Carolina. My CBS station on occasion freezes, then goes blank for about 5 seconds.

Kind of annoying trying to watch the NCAA finals.

Anybody else seeing the same? I have a SD DirecTivo.

Probably your local station, caused by a poor director going to black too soon. May not have a good stop watch.

It's not when going to commercial. Annoying part is during play, video freezes, no audio, goes black for 5-10 secs and comes back in real-time missing the play.

I have 3 SD DirecTivos and have seen this on 2. I'll check the 3rd.

Local station is now scrolling the message: "CBS Network is experiencing problems with its digital signal. Local station has spoken with engineers in New York and they tell us they are working on it."
