Guest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Apparently the station on Comcast was completely off all night. I tried to tape and got a silent black screen! TCM ? Comacast ? Link to post Share on other sites
MyFavoriteFilms Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I recorded ZENOBIA (aired around midnight) and early this morning (around 5:30 a.m. Pacific Time) I recorded PICK A STAR without any problems. I don't know about the hours in-between. But it sounds like a problem with your cable company. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I tried for *Nobody's Baby* and it was black. Link to post Share on other sites
MyFavoriteFilms Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 NOBODY'S BABY aired after PICK A STAR. And we had it here in Arizona, with Time Warner. Again, sounds like an issue with Comcast. Link to post Share on other sites
Fedya Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 *Nobody's Baby* showed up on DirecTV here in the Catskill Mountains. Link to post Share on other sites
kriegerg69 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Ever since the beginning of television, there have been signal outages and losses, and so-called "blackouts". That's the way it goes, because nothing is 100% perfect. What's the point of bringing it up or complaining about it? It won't change a thing or take you back in time to what you missed because of the outage.....signals go out now and then. Link to post Share on other sites
markfp2 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Everything I watched last night on TCM was fine from DirecTV. Had to be Comcast. If it had been at TCM's end it would have affected all of us and these boards would have been packed with complaints. Link to post Share on other sites
molo14 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I have Comcast in Virginia and had no problems with *Nobody's Baby*. I've certainly had my share of troubles with Comcast but not last night. Maybe it was a local problem. Link to post Share on other sites
Garth Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I have DirecTV and after ZENOBIA I went to bed. I don't know if we had a black out. It's been generally good with no delays or black outs. Satisfied with the service. What does Comcast say about this? I completely loathe Comcast any way! Link to post Share on other sites
talkietime Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I remember as a child that the family always tried to watch Your Show of Shows with Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca. I say we tried to watch it because more often than not most of the show consisted of a screen that read "PLEASE STAND BY WE ARE EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES" or some similar message.

scottman1932 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I was unable to record PICK A STAR. For some reason there was some kind of issue with Time Warner and it stopped recording the movie or a minute or two. It doesn't happen a lot, but it is annoying when it does.

Guest Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 What really **** me off is that Comcast NEVER accepts any blame for these blackouts, pixilated images, skipping, stopping, etc. No one else EVER calls to complain about their lousy service. YA RIGHT. Link to post Share on other sites
