Just went dark

  • 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!

Well here in the LA area, things have gone dark.

We no longer have KCBS (I'm too far away from LA to get a decent OTA signal) and the expected cable stations are dark. TV Land is still up as is KCOP, the LA UPN affliate which presumably isn't owned by Viacom then(?).

Not too bothered right now as TV is currently rerun central and it gives me a chance to catch up on my Netflix, but if this doesn't get resolved soon I might start getting annoyed and looking into alternatives.
 
KCBS and WCBS have slates but I am a distant network subscriber. I should not have the slates.
 
I am in the Seattle area, so no blackout for me.

Viacom and EchoStar need to get this resolved ASAP.

Look elsewhere in the program guide.

My distant nets moved to new channel names/numbers. The old channel numbers have the slates.

Look for LACBS / NYCBS or the like.

You know what i find humourus, watching MTV here on local cable tv, MTV just ran an ad for "shows" this coming week (like real world etc) and at the end it says "MTV this week, now only on Cable and DirecTV)"
 
Turned to WCCO this morning and saw Charlie and his speech. He says to call the VP of this CBS (which shows the name of the VP of WCCO) and to call the advertisers, and a screen comes up with Cub & Rainbow (the big grocery chains), Target, Best Buy (which is HQ is Mpls) and HOM furniture.

There will be a special chat at 7 Eastern to discuss this "on this channel"..so its not going to be on 101..It will be on the CBS channel that is missing.

The only Viacom channel I have is CBS...What are they showing on the other Viacoms (MTV, Nick, etc?)

Is the special chat only for people whose CBS got taken down, or is it for everyone??
