Reception problems during the last Packer game?

[Mark Strube]

I'm wondering if anyone had problems? I'm curious about both off the air and cable subscribers.

YES, I was using OTA and it froze 3 or 4 time for like 5 or 10 seconds at a time.

[Talos4]

I thought I was the only one, I too had dropouts during the game,

I was watching OTA thru my H20 box.

[AndrewP]

It froze on me once OTA, but I switched to WFLD-HD from Chicago and had no issues anymore.

[HDefinicktion]

It did the same thing OTA for me, as well as of DTV HD channel 6....on both TVs at the same time.

[Tom Snyder]

I got it, too... at least two times it went total blue screen for about 5-10 seconds. Channel 6-1 over D*

[Mark Strube]

Good to know. I had it running in the Palladium OTA with a Dish box when it gave me a lost signal screen. I immediately switched over to U-Verse. (I prefer OTA since U-Verse recompresses the picture, and gives us weird audio glitches on the Dolby Digital.)

I switched back to OTA before the 3rd quarter, at which point it froze up and I had to go back to U-Verse.

It's quite harrowing when these problems arise while you've got over 200 people at your theatre for the game.

I didn't have any breakups or blue screens that day.

But then again, my setup was 20/20 vision from section 353, row 5, seat 14 in Green Bay :)

I was watching OTA, and it appeared that the Ch. 6 HD transmitter (I think that is Ch. 33) tripped off a couple of times. That would cause differing results with different receivers, from freeze frames to blue screen, or a search for signal indicator.

The transmitter outages were brief, but I'm sure the engineers will look into the situation, just like anything else in the analog world.

Nels....

[Mark Strube]

It looks like they were having some major problems during the pre-game show, and then so far during the game one signal drop. Anyone else? I'd think Fox 6 would've remedied their transmitter by now.

Lot of freezes today.

It was a WITI 6 problem. I switched to WLUK, Green Bay and no break ups or frozen picture.

I had problems with Fox 6 and the Packer game and CBS 58 and the Cowboy game. Time to write TWC a nasty email. :)

[Tom Snyder]

I got one 10-15 second blue screen during the Packer game via D*. After that it was fine.

[Steve Mann]

I got one 10-15 second blue screen during the Packer game via D*. After that it was fine.

Exactly my experience. Fox6, MPEG4 via DirecTV. I've been using the MPEG4 sat channels over OTA lately in an effort to save HD space.

[Matt Heebner]

I got a total blue screen via MPEG4 over Directv for a few seconds. Either there wasnt a problem with OTA or they had it cleared up by the time I switched over to OTA

[Jimboy]

Didn't notice any problems via OTA. Although I was in & out of the house frying turkeys. Good game though.
