(61,885 posts)Sorry about that (again!).
What you were hearing is called Descriptive Video Service (DVS). It is intended for the Visually Impaired. Newer TVs can access it through a sound setting.
Somehow when Tuesday's audio problem was dealt with yesterday, they left the SD audio on the channel that also carries the DVS. It's not there on most programs so would not have been heard during the day. When the technicians on duty last night heard the DVS during The Roosevelts they called out an engineer who drove to the studio and made the change.
Yesterday, Programming said this about Episode 3: "Due to the numerous complaints concerning audio issues on the SD version of last night's Roosevelts, we will rebroadcast episode #103 this Saturday, Sept. 20th at 10pm, immediately following episode #107. Episode #107 will repeat Sunday (Saturday overnight) at 4am."
They will probably decide today what to do about Episode 4. (Sigh.)

sounds like they were as frustrated as we viewers!
Thanks all for sharing your own experiences. It's good to know that we do indeed know how to use our TV and weren't imagining things!
