Did Anyone Lose The NBA Finals 396 ABC, Lost Picture From 4th Quarter Start Until 6:05 Left

Did this happen to anyone else? Middle of commercial break between end of third quarter and start of fourth quarter, black screen, still maintained audio, luckily I was not too far back in the recording, I immediately hit record on 7 WABC New York feed and I only missed the first 4 minutes of the 4th quarter.

For the rest of the Finals I will record on both feeds in case it happens again.

Update: I just checked the original 396 recording, the picture returned with 6:05 left in the fourth quarter.

@gordongekko99,

 

Due to how widespread it was, it seems like there was an issue on the broadcaster's end. You will need to contact the broadcaster for further questions. We apologize for the inconvenience!

Widespread? What are you basing this on? A few tweets that I read? Have you done any investigating, called the Tech department, why can't you call the broadcaster, what is their contact info, can you actually help on this issue or was I given a standard form response???????

Hello @gordongekko99,

When the game lost picture was the sound lost as well and did any other channels get affected?

Was there a error message displayed?

Charles, as I wrote in my original post, audio was maintained, only thing I was watching was the NBA Finals, no idea about other channels. No error message.

Sorry but you need to read the thread you are responding to, this thread topic has nothing to do with error message screens.

 

Update: I just noticed that a bunch of replies were placed in this thread by an Admin regarding error messages, why, they have nothing to do with the original thread topic.
