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!

I woke up at 7:30AM EST and turned on my TV. I had turned it to 360 sometime before going to bed and it was in HD. So this AM it was SD. I had to change the channel and change back to 360 again to get the HD version. I was scared for a minute like they took it away from us. I have SD duplicates turned off in my custom guide. Why would it just switch me to the SD feed but still display HD, forching me to change the channel and change back to get the wide screen Fox and Friends in HD?
Odd, isn't it?

I think the SD duplicates selection just removes them from the guide. You should still remove the SD from the Favorites list. In my case I had created a Favorites that was all HD channels with a few SD sprinkled in, FNC one of them. I had to add FNCHD to that favorites list and remove the SD version.
The sync is still noticable.
What package does this FOX News HD come with?
Dont see it listed on any HD package on their main site.

According to http://www.directv.com/see/pdf/chnllineup.pdf?footernavtype=-1 Fox news in in the Choice and higher packages. You get the HD version by paying the $9.99/month HD access charge which gives you all the HD channels that have a SD version in your subscription package.
I just keep switching my HDMI switch to a different mode and back to the DirecTV HD-DVR and it fixes the problem. Maybe my switch is smart enough to auto sync the voices to the mouths. But that has always fixed it on the occasion prior to Fox News HD when getting it was a rarity. Now it happens all the time, but switching the switch fixes it every time. I think when I change channels away from Fox News HD and back to it, that is when it goes out of sync.
I've noticed today that the audio/video sync problem has been fixed or at least minimized enough that I don't notice it.
The Wing's got to go!!!!!!!!!!!
I totally agree with you tigerfan33.
Caution, you are about to enter the no-spin zone.
The wing is steeling my real estate. It's distracting. It's annoying. It's got to go.
If I wanted to watch constant text messages I would watch QVC.
What the heck were they thinking. 25% of the screen is like a pop-up add that I have no control over. Imagine if your PC decided one day to take 25% of your screen no matter what application you used.
I can't believe no one else has said anything about the wing being distracting.
I admit I am a right wing guy but this right wing is just a distracting thing.
Don't be a lemming, write to FNC and tell them the Wings got to go!

I thought the complaining would stop once we got Fox News HD. I think most of us are just happy to have it. Let's not get too picky here. The wing isn't the end of the world. Sure O'Reilly's show would look better without it like Fox and Friends. But let's not rock the boat here. You can always watch the SD channel if the wing is too distracting. haha.
Just checked, no problem now. Watched a bit a couple times earlier today, no problems then either.
Fox News Channel to launch 2 more hd studios tomorrow. Does not say which programs will use these studios after the election.
