Interrupted forecasts?
« on: June 12, 2011, 05:51:34 PM »
Did a search and couldn't find anything (SIAP).  Actually, I'm not 100% sure where to post this.

Am I the only one who's having his LFs interrupted by commercials?  It doesn't happen every time, but when it does, the CC screen shows as normal.  All of a sudden, a commercial comes on.  It shows two commercials, then goes back to the LF for the 36 hour forecast.

This is without a doubt Comcast's doing, because A.) TWC would never do anything like this, and B.) The first commercial is always one for Xfinity, with the second usually being a local commercial.

It's irritating.   :angry:

I've seen it that happen a couple of times, but it's been a couple of years since the last time I saw that happen.

My headend used to do it a couple times a month during the 18/48 and usually would end about when the radar or almanac started.

I would contact your headend. Sounds like the cue time for the local ad inserts is off.

Comcast got an email from me tonight because it's getting worse.
