OK, where'd the locals go???

[cr0mag]

Here in New Orleans about 30 minutes ago I lost my local channels. It wasn't a 'clean cut' either. What started to look like rain fade went to the old 'searching for signal screen on all of my receivers.

Did somebody spill coffee on the controls at D*? Or does this have something to do with the other recent glitches.

BTW all of the other channels seem fine.

If anyone is seeing similar issues, please let me know.

I am missing my locals too. Nearly all odd transponders are gone off of 119. (Directv) Green Bay, WI
The same thing happend to me. Started to break up and then went totally out.

11 minutes on hold and the picture is coming back.. Glitch fixed long before anyone picked up my call.

Problem fixed itself.

Gone again in pensacola

 

[cr0mag]

WE ALL SPOKE TOO SOON! At 6:37 cst I started losing signal again! UGGHHH!

 

[cr0mag]

Hey, this could be fun.... Pensacola, New Orleans... It's not like we need to watch the weather forecasts right now....

 

[cryptotech]

Pensacola and New orleans could be on the same spot beam but wisconsin too... I don't know what's going on.

Yea hope it doesn't grow to much. Its been nice here in the Tampa area. Lots of clouds with off and on rain that is needed. And a VERY NICE drop in tempature that is well needed also. Along with a very nice breeze.

At least we still receive the Weather Channel

 

[cr0mag]

Oh, I completely agree! After one extremely hot summer the breeze along with our cold front feels great. We could also use a little rain, but if we get too much there are a lot of people here rebuilding their homes and businesses that could find themselves in a heap of trouble.

Yea, but I'd rather hear what the local guys are saying....

 

[gbertler]

Yup, out again here in Green Bay, Wi. All odd transponders on 119 except 27. Of course one or two I might not of gotten earlier.

Well, you're right...me too.

 

[cr0mag]

Picture is coming back

 

[cryptotech]

Mine are back too. For now...

I assume we are talking SD locals since you mention 119.

New Orleans locals are on 119 - TP 23
Pensacola locals are on 119 - TP 31

I can't see the FL beam from here but the signal on the NO beam looks horrible.

EDIT: Watched the signal climb from 50% to a screaming 120% over here. Looks like it is back.
