An outage like this makes me suspect that a rack of encoders lost power or was disconnected. 2 hour outage... hmm someone accidently trips over the rack power cord, has to go page someone, get them to drive in Saturday morning, plug it in, boot all the computers back up and have signal restored in 2 hours?

 

[Poke]

Yeah it was kind of interesting wonder if we will see any activity come next week..

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Well that outage lasted about 2 hours and 20 minutes.

And in that time we had 63 posts in this thread, while the other site didn't even have a single mention that there was a problem.

Thanks for choosing SatelliteGuys folks!

Merry Christmas!

All the people saying happy birthday to Poke, made me remember this:

Happy birthday Poke (y), and merry CHRIST-mas!

Best to you Scott, and everyone here for the holidays. Yes, as another poster mentioned, when I first discovered the problem, I re-booted the box, then broke into a cold sweat. Then, I thought, "If there's a problem, SatelliteGuys will know about it". Sure enough, there were, at that time, 3 posts made a few minutes prior, reporting the issue. This is the site for satellite related info - no doubt about it!

No I'm not near a pc but if wasn't walking around the French Quarter in New Orleanss I could look at things with my phone. Looks like Hokie is running interference though.

Stayed out a little too late last night at a party until 6am here. Trying to walk it off

Satellite customers you have just now seen part of the .01% that your satellite might be off. Can you believe we are still here.... With the ice storm here in oklahoma some people have lost cable and satellite and electric for over a week. You would not even be able to post this loss.

Life is a Bitch, please dont vote for one!

Because Dish does NOTHING wrong and any posts/threads to the contrary simply aren't allowed. :up :up

Its 3:10pm est and all the voom channels are all on here.

IMHO, I dont think this was a planned upgrade to new encoders or anything. Doing any kind of tinkering on a holiday weekend, right before Christmas and New Years weeks is just asking for trouble. I don't know of anyone in an operational environment that would do that.

More likely, is Mikes theory. Something broke, someone had to be called in, and fixed it.

 

[Ilya]

I am glad they fixed it in-time for the live game on WorldSportHD! :up
