TV Land Is Acting Up - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

KayEn78 · 03-05-2003, 06:54 PM

Has this happened to anyone else? On Saturday, I went to watch ABP and TV Land (channel 73 here in the Chicagoland area) was gone! There was nothing but a blue screen. When I tuned in to watch The Brady Bunch at 7 that night, TV Land was back on. I've been noticing, when watching the first episode of Happy Days at 3, at exactly 10 minutes after 3, the picture looks funny with squares and lines and then the channel is out. Yesterday, it was out for twenty minutes. Today, it went out at the same time, but is still out now. The rest of our cable channels work fine. TV Land is the only channel going in and out. I'd like to retape "Growing Up Is Hard To Do" on March 10, I hope TV Land will be back on for that. And I hope it will be working for the TV Land Awards too. I don't know why it always goes out in the afternoon during Happy Days. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Is it the TV Land station themselves that this is happening, or the cable itself? After several days of having the channel go off and on, it's getting frustrating. I'm missing the rest of ABP (which won't be on much longer).

No- it must be a Chicago problem

That sounds like a cable problem. For me they usually go away after a day or two.

KayEn78 I think it might have been your cable company because
I watched both episodes of Archir Bunkers Place on TV Land
from 4:00 pm till 5:00 pm and got both episodes with no promble.

Take Care and God Bless

Thank you for your responses.

After several days of having this happen, today, nothing happened.

If it did, I would've called the cable company and gave them hell!

Thanks again!
