I have never experienced so many problems with a network as I have since I have moved here.
We watch several shows on CBS but since moving here, we have had shows with no sound (some CSIs were in there a couple of years ago), shows with sound but no picture, stuttering picture quality, and dead air time!
What is WITH CBS in Charlotte? I was actually glad when WBTV was not going to cooperate with Directv.....I was hoping for another CBS station to take it's place!
yeah, when I was having those issues, Time Warner had to install new cable for me. Apparently, the previous cable was not strong enough (not sure that is the right term...but, the signal was too strong for the previous cable that I had).
Don't think that another CBS outlet can broadcast here. I am fairly certain that the outlets are determined by the regions. That is why (in major cities) you don't find two (or more) CBSs or ABCs...
If you get a cheap antenna, you can pick up the over the air broadcast of WBTV. It should be easy to receive even with the cheapest antenna if you live in Charlotte. This will quickly tell you where the fault lies. You can also pick up 3.2 which is THIS TV.
So far we haven't gotten very many channels with an antenna. We may try a rooftop, but we live on a hill covered in trees. So many in fact, that Dish TV said they couldn't even give us service. The only way I will try a rooftop is if I can return it if it doesn't work.

Called Directv and they said it must be a broadcasting issue. UGH! I figured that would happen.....
I told her that my friends with CABLE haven't had this issue and she said that they get different feeds than the cable company but that noone else has reported it so it must be my receiver.
I explained that it is happening on ALL of our receivers, not just one.....and she said she can't help me at all unless I call WHILE it is happening. I don't watch live TV, so how can I call when it is happening? And even if I did, by the time I call to trouble shoot it would be over anyway.
Meanwhile, I am missing full 15 minute segments of shows. I just watched 42 min. of Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior taped last night. The final 18 minutes are complete silence! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thankfully my DTV contract is up in April. I am not sure what to do since I hate TWC and we can't get Dish. But I hate paying for TV I can't get.
Thanks for listening to my RANT.....just very frustrated at the moment.
