Channel 9 (WWOR) and channel 11 (WPIX) apparently went out this morning. I called and was told there were no reports of this outage but when I told the lady at tech support that my signal strengths are excellent, wires were checked, all other channels coming in fine, she said she would send a note to the proper people to get it fixed. Later another person on the other site called and was told there were no reports of the outage.
We are seeing a 771 message on just these two channel, in the NY DMA. Worked fine until this morning and as I said everything here is in good shape. I went through the normal procedures to do a quick fix and none worked.
It would appear to be an issue on their end unless there is something I do not know or missed along the way here. I just hope that because maybe only a couple of people called so far they do not think it's isolated and can be handled by a service call. It would appear to be widespread in the NY area and only related to DIRECTV as on local cable here, I was told by a neighbor the channels were coming in.
For Yankee fans, tomorrow night is a big game and it's on channel 9, hopefully they get it fixed by then !
