  • 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 read through this thread regarding the "Urgent Action Required" for Pittsburgh HD local service:

http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=196720&highlight=hd+letter&page=4


But am too much of dish novice to know what most of it means. Can someone help with my situation?

i live in Rochester, NY but "moved" to Pittsburgh about 3 years ago. I got this letter in December as well, but ignored it at the time. I just got another one dated March 22, 2010. How does this effect me? How do i know if I need to do anything?

Thanks!
 
As of right now Pittsburgh is on 118.7 and 129

118.7 is conus (whole US) but 129 is on a spotbeam which isnt the whole US

They are removing Pittsburgh from 118.7 and only available on 129...so if you do not have 129 in your sat setup you'll be screwed soon :)
Here is the spotbeam for Pittsburgh...looks like Rochester is still in the beam

Thanks! If they do move it to 129, will I need to reconfigure anything with my set up or will it automatically find the locals where they are?
