Sat Signals off 129

[sA :: Shaggy]

did 129 just take a nose dive. i was watching a few hd channels and bam they all locked up. i went to go check the signals and im hitting 7-9 on the meter.

I will probably go out in a min to repeak but i wanted to see if anyone else was having issues.

Did the signal come back? Someone just started another thread on this:

probably about the time of day the sun is directly behind 129W, it's that time of year you know.

I think you're right. Take a look at this PDF, notice the date and the time for the outage on 129.

I just figured the guy with the joystick had to take a leak so no one was piloting the satellite.

I think he probably just passed-out from sheer boredom...
