D* locals go down.

[jmf243]

I'm in Philly and sometime around 8:30-8:45 this evening all the locals went down. All I'm getting from calling 1800-Directv is a busy signal. Any other markets lose their locals? Anyone know what's going on?

Gone in Chicago, about the same time.

Gone in Baltimore, same time here also. Has anyone been able to get through to DirecTV to find out what's going on?

[dgordo]

I got through calling 888-713-7772
they insist i am the only one with this problem but they will look into it.

It is a very wide problem, they know about the problem and are looking to restore lost services as soon as possible. DIRECTV thanks everyone for their patience.

Add me to the list of those not getting signal in the philly area. All transponders are good signal, just no channel on the 101.

I finally got through to tech support, and it says the hold times are in excess of 14 minutes because of "higher than normal call volumes." Wonder why that is.....

 

[walkerjs]

Okay, locals just came back.

 

[burgerkingboy24]

Just called said they realize the problem and they are working to fix it no word on how long

 

[jmf243]

I finally got through and got a recorded message stating that they are having problems with my locals and are working to resolve the issue.

 

[mlounsbury]

[burgerkingboy24]
