Locals out from DirecTV @ 119 Location

[Scott Greczkowski]

Anyone having any issues getting their locals from the 119 satellite? I have a few retailers calling me and telling me 119 is down and its retailers from around the country (3 retailers so far). However I have not seen a report anywhere of problems from any DirecTV customers.

So is anyone having issues with 119?

DIRECTV just put out a Twitter alerts saying "We are currently experiencing technical difficulties with some channels and are working quickly to restore them. We appreciate your patience "

119 seems fine here...I don't receive any locals from it though. Signal strength shows fine for me.

I was just searching twitter for 'directv'. A few people said they had their locals back...I guess not!

I saw this earlier in another forum by a station engineer...

Hello, as of this morning, SD service for Local affiliates (3,6,12,33) satellite in the Shreveport DMA is down. HD service is not affected. The issue is somewhere between the local pickup facility and the up-link. Both Dish and Direct are affected. I have been told by the powers that be that they are on it. I will keep you posted if I learn anything useful. I hope you have enjoyed Christmas, and I wish all a Happy New Year.
