Title: LDL Activating and Deactivating at Wrong Times
Post by: Zach on July 29, 2008, 09:41:24 AM
Call me :wacko: , but I didn't see the LDL for DirecTV during the 9:28 AM ET LOT8s, but I saw it on during commercials before the :38 LOT8s.

Yeah, apparently, the STARs failed to cue for the 9:28 AM ET LF, then right before going to break at 9:36 AM ET, the STARs cued for the local forecast. Video com come shortly.

I'm uploading the issue onto Youtube as I type, but does the LDL during ads go for DirecTV as well?

P.S.- Is this a STAR Outage right now?
And does the LDL issue during commercials go for DIrecTV too because they have an InteliSTAR?

My LDL is going across the commercials right now, last time it did this it played through the whole commercial break and into the LF.

Still on during ads now.


When they returned, the LDL for DirecTV was still going and turned off, then turned right back on.

It is a STAR issue, are other STARs cuing, because we had a blank Station ID at :58 past. With the LDL still going.

Does anyone know if this could be a time when the LDLs to the Jr. and the 4000 turn on?

Huh?  :wacko:

Are you talking about if the LDLs on the Jr or 4000 are running?

Yes because I've heard that LDLs turn on during commercials to indicate a STAR outage,


Btw, the LDL is not on during this commercial.

wow. i thought incorrect cuing of the new LDL didn't have anything to do with the STAR itself cuing at the wrong time.

i know i read that some where on TWCC.

Al is correct, it was a mistake on TWC's part. Has nothing to do with the STAR itself.
