Problems with some channels on 61.5

[JimC]

Is anyone else currently having a problem getting FX HD or Bravo HD?
I'm getting the 002 screen with transponder 25 on Sat 61.5 flagged (channel 136 / 129) Sorry - have them mapped down so don't know the real channel numbers...

Been on hold for 15 minutes, and getting tired of one of the EXTRA LOUD ads.

Update: Just got through - known problem that they're working on...

I just called into Tech about ch. 596 Globo since it's been off for at least the last hour. After telling him I went thru all the basics he found out they had a ticket out about problems on 61.5. He had mentioned it was only that channel but maybe it is more now.

I was only having the issue on transponder 18 it seemed like thru point dish. All my HD locals are fine.

FX and Bravo are working now.

Looks like transponder 18 at 61.5° stopped working. There was some uplink activity a little while ago that cleared the transponder and put all the affected channels on other transponders. E*3 is a 12+ year-old dying bird.

See ya
