Broadcast Issues in "Hex"???

[moviefan2k4]

Did anyone experience any reception problems during this episode? My local afilliate kept interrupting with weather updates (ugh!), and on top of that the picture and sound would briefly "shift" slightly, light a very small magnification effect. Anybody?

[Cyn]

OMG, I thought I was going to have a complete come apart. I had no audio during the whole Ollie/Zatanna scene. Even the commercials were off. I kept thinking "I know times are tough, but did you have to fire the experienced staff and hire from a temp agency?"

[O'Neill]

No problems here during the show, but right at the end when the credits appeared, there was about 3 seconds of that "off the air" type of steady beep.

Me as well and im in Canada,my tv was doing that digital break up thing.I missed the whole scene where Chole turns back into herself and when Clark stops Zatanna.Im so mad,but i have time shiffting so im recording it again at 11.

[Lara Lor Van]

Same here they kept interupting on all the important scenes, like chloe turning back etc....

[AmazSpiderman1]

I live in the North East and during the show the picture kept stopping, then picking up a second or two later. It was really annoying, especially when it would happen when Zatanna was using her powers. The audio was smooth, but the picture was skipping.

[Carolina87]

I didn't experience anything major like some of you guys but it did glitched for a second or two.... i wonder why??

[Karafan1]

I had just a little pixelated screw up for a few seconds just like last week..Nothing like the nightmare I had durning "Infamous" where the audio/video would skip and buzz every 5-10 seconds for the 1st 30 minutes!!!

[Batman/Superman#1]

No audio for 20 minutes.

It is always like that here for me when I watch Smallville, Supernatural or another CW show. Audio skips sometimes for like 3 seconds.

[Kschreck]

I go through Time Warner and they always have "problems" with their cable and internet services.

['Tonio09]

I got those weather updates too! It came right after Clark gave 'Lois' that loving look and right before he took his super leap. I missed everything from the super leap to when Chloe finally made it to the roof.
I got those pixel glitches too.

Hello everyone! I've been a lurker for a while now. But, OMG, I was so ticked off at the weather lady here in Dallas for interrupting the show a couple times. I was yelling obscenities at the TV screen, lol.

Welcome, Ammi!!! This is a great episode for you to join in on the fun....

[davidbrenton]

I'm in Central NJ, near NYC through Direct TV and had no issues.

[Karafan1]

I've noticed that, well around here anyway, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox don't have the audio/video problems that the CW has...Any idea on why the CW screws up all the time and the other networks don't??

Welcome to K-Site! And you're not alone! lol! I nearly punched a hole in my tv!
There were no interruptions in Supernatural and during commerical breaks she was like "we're not going to interrupt your programming." I was like where was that an hour ago?!?

[protege]

Tonight's episode was fine for me, but i have had problems with the picture breaking up, or the sound being all choppy. I'm not sure if it's a CW thing, or a local affiliate thing.

[kal-el_Girl]

yeah the image went green for a couple of secs at the beginning I screamed at the tv like a mad woman and my mom left the room thinking I'm officially insane but thankfully the image came back and I enjoyed a great eppy.. BTW I'm not insane.... yet

[superjude]

The wind is really bad here so I did get some flickers, but for the most part it was fine. NO weather reports.

[Batman/Superman#1]

I think what I experienced in tonight's episode it's not a local staion or cable service problem but The CW Network itself. It's shows skips audio all the time.

[The Dark Knight74]

I had little digital splotches every once in a while. Annoying but nothing really major.

[AndiGirl]

I dont really know what the deal is with the CW network in my house!
I turned on the tv last night....and the CW, and only the CW was flickering. Kind of weird, so I just watched in my room.

[Krypton935]

OMG!!! The first 15 minutes were completely out!! Before Save me it was all green and whacky with no sound and then this stupid Directv thing came up and says "there is no need to call us were aware of the problem BLAH BLAH BLAH!!" Well if they ARE aware they should have fixed it which they didn't until the very end of the scene with Zatana and Ollie and then it was commercial!! So I have no idea what happened in there so I have to wathc it onlin e which I HATE doing GRRR GRRR gRGGRG! But being optimistic I did see the rest of the ep.... i guess that's good.....

[AgentChaos]

The audio was warped at certain points for me.

[Skaterpen357]

I'm a "Mansfieldian," and yeah, I had the same problems as the "Dallasites"...

Aaagh, that was annoying. Gonna have to rewatch this episode. I literally swore loudly the second interruption...

[Atomic girl]

I think what I experienced in tonight's episode it's not a local staion or cable service problem but The CW Network itself. It's shows skips audio all the time.I get a "pure" broadcast from a local CW station (KTLA) and they have only a few problems, nothing like what I see posted about most of the time. I use an antenna and get beautiful picture and sound quality for both SM and SN. (I don't watch anything else on CW) I really think that cable and satellite systems are having the problems with the switch over to digital. I'm wondering if the cable and satellite systems might be trying to get people to switch to their higher priced digital packages before all the signals will only be available in digital and they'll have to provide it for free. (Unless of course, they will bringing down the quality for transmission, since the feed they get will only be available in digital in June.)

Sunday morning: 9am - no problem.

Sunday evening: 6pm - no problem.

[SnowBird]

A few quick clitches in audio. I have Direct TV.

Ditto to the screw up and nightmare. I also had to suffer through an hour and 12 minute delay of Infamous. Turbulence, however, was completely clear. Argh.

----- Added 2 Minutes later -----

I checked, and yeah, it was just the CW for me, too. And the darn tv froze during the last few minutes of Supernatural. Double argh.

[VickiLVCM]

I am in Las Vegas and have Directv, CW has something every week. This week was bad. Twice the picture and sound froze. Thank goodness for iTunes.

OT BTW: I grew up in Dallas, nice to see some fellow Dallasites around. :)
