Major DIRECTV Outage

[Scott Greczkowski]

I just got word from DIRECTV that there is a major outage currently happening. They are aware of the issue and are working on fixing the issue.

If I hear more I will post it.

Cheep Charlie's fault?

Nope looks to be a fiber issue coming into their uplinks.

That's way better than something wrong in orbit!

We posted this a few minutes before they posted it to their own sites and twitter.

Posting this for Scott. Some channels are starting to come back online! All channels should be restored shortly!

Interesting. Didn't notice anything on my end today. Although; if it was just locals then mine may have been out earlier today as well. I only watch locals on certain nights.

The info I got was some locals, ppvs, activations, and a some other technical stuff. It has since been resolved.
