is anyone else having trouble with commercials on Animal Planet tonight?

[Jim S.]

Almost every commercial break, there will come a point where the screen will go black and stay black no matter how long I wait. The only way out of it is to change the channel. I can change back and it'll work til the next commercial break. I also can't rewind through this black screen, so I'm guessing it has something to do with inserted commercials instead of broadcast commercials.

Assuming you have done a power cord reboot of the system, is sounds like the receiver needs to be replaced.

Went to look at this thread and this is what I saw!

 

[tanman]

Clicked on the x (to the right of "Oops We ran into some problems". Each time I clicked the screen got brighter.After 4 clicks it was like this.

2 more clicks and it was back to normal.No other threads are doing this. The screen shots were taken on a second attempt.In other words the problem persisted.
Ironic in a discussion of black screens.
Tres bizarre,eh?
