RTN Gone on AMC9?

[va2ir]

I had RTN coming in fine at 530pm eastern and now at 9pm - poof - zero signal. Are they "off the air"? Sky here is clear. Very weird.

Thanks

[Mr Tony]

yep not here either

possibly uplink issues

 

[phlatwound]

MIA here also.

 

[tvropro]

Dead here too how's the weather at the uplink?

 

[turbosat]

Weather is fine..but they're MIA here in N Ala also. The color bars are still up on 11775 so the satellite hasn't left.

Just going say the same thing.
Good thing I moved the dish in time to get them for the 20 mins I did.

 

[sattec]

but my local tv affiliate is still show rtn????

 

[Mr Tony]

The feed on AMC9 is the national feed.
Most affiliates have their own customizable channel and that is on C-Band DVB-S2

 

[sattec]

I have c-band and dvb..whats s-2?... no more RTV via sat for me or what :rant: ?? thank you....

 

[Diamond Jim]

Still gone as of 1:30am EST. :rant:

Is that really a square dish? ...what.... lol..

Man.. I hope the RTV's are back tomorrow.
Cause the one over the air RTV I get isn't neither one of those... :-(

 

[tvropro]

Still gone this morning this is not good. Also KCSG is gone, if you don't have S2 your out of luck like me. Maybe it will be fixed today if it isn't the end for those feeds. Lets hope there's just a problem or there will be quite a few FTA'ers not happy. Seems we loose more than gain lately.

RTV is still dark here near Omaha as of about 7 am CDT.

At least I am not missing Daniel Boone! Had several days of this show recorded ahead of time, along with the Rockford files. Whew!

Hope the signal comes back up today.

RADAR

 

[diyguy]

No Daniel Boone today!

 

[putney]

The signal had been coming in crazy strong for the last two weeks.
Maybe it burned itself out

Searched around, can't find anything at all on them. The local affiliates have nothing on their websites about it, satellite feeds on 83 still gone, and no mention of anything on their own website. Wonder if they didn't pay the uplinker?

 

[vanalex]

Could it be that they are just using the C-Band feeds and they simply discontinued the use of these?

 

[Mr Tony]

possibly...however there are affiliates (mainly low powered stations) who are using the national feed and not a customizable feed. So unless all those stations upgraded to a C-Band feed and different equipment they might have some issues

Some of these low powered stations may be using a 1.2m dish and a consumer FTA receiver to receive it. I remember when Equity existed, a few times Gary (GAS) would post that if someone near ______________ that had a FTA receiver they could use for a couple days let him know because the receiver at ______________ site died.
