61.5 outage?

[gwhitelover]

Times like this, I'm happy that I added FiosTV just for my actual local stations. Got tired of watching philly news when I'm three hours directly south of it! Gotta love Salisbury, MD locals, none of the satellite companies run them! Just local cable or Fios.

Maybe there was a bigger reason why dish didn't put those 9 national HD channels on 61.5. Just a thought.

The spot beam locals are being fed from a different satellite Rainbow 1 (now Echostar 12) the other national channels are being served from Echostar 3.

From memory it's E12 which can have spots on odd transponders from 1-23, with 17-23 now (?) in conus mode. Edited to add: can somebody do a signal strength test of those odd transponders right away? It would be interesting to know if E12 just disappeared completely, or rather it's only the spots that are down.

Let's hope E12 didn't get rammed by E6!

Way Way over my head. Especially since its in space lol

Lets hope this gets resolved by 8PM tonight. Just switched to Eastern Arc last week and now dont have standard locals as a backup. Wife is going to be pissed tonight, if she misses her line-up tonight especially 24.

Rainbow 1 was renamed Echostar 12.

Whatever happened to getting locals thru an off-air antenna?

People may disagree however the quality is better and not delayed about 30 seconds.

I tried that! Only got one channel since the closests tower is 40+ miles away. You would think, I'm back in the hills but I'm surrounded by i-95 (Baltimore, Philadelaphia, Alexandia)

Unfortunatly not all of us have the capability receive locals through antennea. B elive me I tried that. I agree better quality just cant get all of them.

I do get my locals OTA as well as through the satellite. Problem is there isn't enough tuners now to record all the conflicts that happen on a Monday night.

Sweet since we both live in CT I"ll go check mine out now.

 

[Super Dave]

Not up in Philly yet.

 

[nelson61]

I wonder if they keep a defibulator in their control room for situations like this.

 

[flampher]

Just came back on here in VT
