I live in springfield, MO which has a MyNetworkTV Equity Station. It is currently out of service even on directv. I'm assuming they are having a system wide failure.
It's now Galaxy 18 (scheduled for July), not 17. See the "Galaxy 17" thread."Galaxy 10R, which operates over the Pacific Ocean at 123 west longitude, will be replaced in early to mid 2007 with Galaxy 17, under construction at Alcatel Space of Paris." http://www.space.com/spacenews/archive04/panamsatarch_082404.html
