Election Mix Channel on 347

  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.

    We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.

    If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.

    We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.

    Sorry for the issue!

Just a quick mention for those interested, DirecTV has an election mix channel on 347 tonight into tomorrow.

Feel welcome to discuss, but please keep discussion non-political.
 
Thought it was good. Still using it now. Thought it was VERY dumb to put Comedy Central as one of the 6 options but no Fox Business. Bloomberg and BBC were also interesting choices.
 
Unfortunately I was not able to choose which channel I listened to. Seemed to not completely load. So none of the channels were highlighted for switching audio.

That's how interactive channels are sometimes (like the ST game mix channels). It may or may not work if you press the "Exit" button while on the channel.

Yeah, I really really liked having this channel. Sometimes I was not able to select audio, but it worked otherwise. Definitely hope they do this again in future years.
 
Another fool proof method of selecting audio is info>>audio/video>> and choose from the list of audio tracks. That's how these channels work. It's just a 1080i video with a box that hovers over the screen which changes the audio track (similar to the SAP audio selection)
 
Well, yesterday, director ended the mix channels 3 day run as the election is over and Trump is now the president and the Republicans won the majority in the House and Senate. Now the election is over, i think it's time to have a Mod or a Admin to lock this thread and post a link to the pit to remind people to discuss politics there

Also, DirecTV did a okay job with this mix, but could had done better.
