Lost local in Eastern NC (Alert on HD Locals from DIRECTV)

[soot]

Has anyone else lost their local channels, like WITN, WCTI etc.

Mine are gone in Central Florida... and the tech was a lot of help... and no service call until Wednesday... not that I figure they'll find anything here.

I'm in New Hampshire and the locals went out about an hour ago.

I'm in New Hampshire also, and I have locals, but not local HD channels

West Palm Beach locals appear to be out. They were on three hours ago.

Thanks for the update. I "unhid" the SD chans, but forgot to change my favorites to one that included the SD chans. -- HD local chans now have an onscreen message saying they are having technical difficulties.

I'm in the Raleigh market - don't have HD locals - switched to SD have picture - messing up my DVR recordings

 

[rcolosimo]

Mine are out in Raleigh too but I don't get any messages.. Just a black screen.

A rep just told me that DTV's broadcast center antenna is out because of the hurricane, and they are working on fixing it. She gave no estimate as to when it would be fixed and indicated that it was affecting pretty much the whole east coast.

They forgot to mention Indi, we've been battling them for about 2-3 months now

 

[Annie61]

how do you "unhide " the SD signal? (serious question, I thought all I had was HD locals on my HD set) I have SD only on my bedroom set
Thanks!

Atlanta HD locals have been out all evening. That makes no sense unless they uplink them in the hurricane zone.
