It's been happening for months. I think I had read WCBS brings down the HD at night for maintenance. Also probably to keep transmitter costs down.

What transponder had the 93 signal strength ? I lost Channel 80 this past weekend and realized that transponder 8 on the 101 satellite had gone to 0 signal strength. Transponders 6 and 7 were also lower than I would have expected. Monday, things seemed to get better. I wonder if Dave is shuffling the deck ?

Same here! Channel 81 works fine, but 80 goes out every night or close to it.

Just as an update, this has not been doing this lately. I don't know if the moved their maintenance to later, but Friday night it was on at 11:30 MT (1:30 ET)
