said by djoropallo:They blacked out an entire series of downs last night, and the ads are all local, not national so they can't blame the NFL.
As was stated earlier, the network sends an inaudible audio signal that tells Verizon's computers when it is clear to insert the local commercials. It's not like it some dude is sitting around pressing the "commercial button."
The question is whether NFL was sending the signal incorrectly or whether Verizon was reading a signal when one was not really sent.
