CBS Black Scree

On CBS I the Orlando DMA I am getting a black screen very often it seems like several times a minute. I get it on IPad, Apple TV, and Roku devices. I also get it on my home network and on my phone hotspot.

I'm glad to see this get mentioned. For me it started the middle of the week. It happens on my Roku, Fire TV Stick, the actual AT&T streaming box, any of my home computer browsers as well as on my android phone.

On my phone, it happens with both a Wi-Fi connect off my home network as well as via my LTE data connection - so - I know it's not any specific Internet connection.

How about others in Orlando?

so I need to tell them they DIRECTV has a problem. I get the station fine on antenna and over the paramount app. I would think the company I am paying would be more interested.

Well if you are not getting anywhere with them then what other choice do you have. I am sure your local station would care a lot more if a subscriber is not satisfied.

Cancel and use another provider is this first option that comes to mind.

Well maybe they are working on it, today it is worse than ever. No picture at all the majority of time

Yeah thought it was fixed earlier today but now it's going bonkers. The screen went dark for about 3 or 4 minutes and now it's flashing on and off. It's hard to believe nobody can figure this out by now. You'd think it would be like cellular networks with them being monitored all the time to make sure they're up and running properly. DTV Stream is advertising like bandits lately and if this is the service you offer, it's not going to go well for business.

It flashes on and off. Audio goes out too for a sec then comes back but it keeps happening. The channel is unwatchable right now in the Orlando area. Only happening with channel 6. Others work fine.
