Hey people:

ANY sort of substantial glitch in the video will result in the 
timebase corrector grabbing the last frame and holding until
the signal clears up.  This has nothing to do with satellites; it
can happen with any video signal passing through a TBC.  Since
L.A. SelecTV has nothing whatever to do with satellites, that sorta
lets out the "satellite theory"...

P.S.  By the way, while it isn't widely know, L.A. ONTV (about 250,000
      subscribers) has been bought out by L.A. SelecTV (About 45,000
      current subscribers or something like that).  They will both
      operate concurrently for one year.  What happens after that
      is less clear.
