Something about that confuses me a little.

Lando says, "We've got to be able to get some reading on that shield, up or down," and then realizes that the reason they can't get a reading either way is that they're being jammed.

Yet he seems to know the moment the shield goes down.

Did the jamming stop? Did the rebels find a way around it? What happened?
