Yup.
I call the 678 (local) number that goes right to the department, but on the 800 number press 1 instead of 4, and you will get someone.  :yes:

But pressing 1 is for if you are calling from a cable headend.

I've completly lost faith in TWC...

Engineering, E.O.D., STAR Team, Network Control, Master Control, Technical Support - No one knows whats wrong, and they say there is no problem, and everything is proper.

STAR Team had the SD feed, and HD feed on side by side. Music matched, and the satellite local was fine.

He was to call me at 11:28 for the local, he was on the phone with Engineering and was late, so we missed it. He told me to call back on the next local, and we will watch it together.

So let me get this straight. There's CLEARLY a problem. You hear it, I hear it, the entire TWC fan community hears it.  But the bozo's at TWC don't? Sorry to sound negative, but IMHO its totally unacceptable for there to be a problem and them to be totally oblivious of it.

Maybe they just don't realize it? Could they think that's the music that's supposed to be playing?

I've been told that the HD feed is fine, so seeing as they had both feeds side by side, I don't see that being possible.
