Channel 14

Channel 14 of our basic cable has been acting rather strange lately. It is showing the screensaver from a Sony DVD Player. This is not the normal behavior of a cable channel. My first though was that somehow a DVD player in the household was broadcasting through the cable line to our TV. But as we didn't have a Sony DVD player anywhere in the house that possiblity was discarded. Equally unlikely was the possiblity that some other house's DVD player was somehow broadcasting to ours. After some thought my wife and I came up with the solution. After remembering that channel 14 used to be the cable information channel we deduced that the information had been on a looping DVD which for some reason was no longer looping. I am now taking bets on how long it takes someone to notice and fix it. Anyone care to place a bet. so far its been 3 days of screensaver.
