KPLR CW11 HD Problems

[mhayes70]

The last 2 days KPLR CW11 HD only, not SD has been have problems. Directv has been taking it off the air, off and on the last 2 days with a message that says "local TV station is having technical difficulties" and the OTA is very copy and audio dropouts a lot. Last night even there OTA signal was gone for a while. Anyone is the St. Louis area heard what the problem is? I sent a e-mail to them tonight and hopefully I will get a response.

Those audio dropouts have been going on for over a year now, ever since they stopped carrying TheShaft, I mean TheTube, on the second subchannel. I sent them an e-mail about it months ago, got a reply that they had it about fixed. I sent another e-mail about it a few weeks ago and got no answer.

This "local TV station having difficulties" message is new... apparently the situation is getting worse, not better. :(

I just got off the phone with the main switchboard lady and she said they are aware of the problem and didn't know when it would be fixed. :( Hopefully I will get an e-mail from the Chief Engineer I e-mailed yesterday.

Got home about 3:30 P.M. today, checked & was back on; last night OTA was operational 11:30 P.M. before I went to bed (Must keep the late night reading of the forums only on weekends!!!!!!)
