ABC has been flawless for a while. But now the black screen has returned.

Did something change in the ABC setup and reception?

Thank you and truly appreciate your efforts and service.

Not sure what happened. It appears that ABC was completely out yesterday, and our decoder was not able to recover from that error. I've restarted the channel, and it seems to be working now.

Best,

Francis

I had asked someone to do try and determine whether or not the UHF signal of ABC was stronger than the VHF signal. They said they would do some testing. The result was that VHF was better (which is what they were using) and they re added it due to popular demand.

You want to know why I think it works better now? The testing may have involved repositioning the antenna which possibly fixed the problem.
