Can't believe no one else posted, so I decided to ask.
Anyone ever hear what happened? OR if this is a Dish-only problem?
When I got up this morning, had a black screen for 176HD... Later in the afternoon Dish replaced with a "we know and are working on it" slate. Sometime this evening they switched to apparently a feed that is the SD Cartoon Network upconverted.
Yeah, I know Cartoon Network isn't in HD most of the time really anyway... but this looks a lot like last year when History/A&E and a couple of others blew up at the uplink center and they had to use upconverts of the SD channels for a few days.
Was wondering if the same thing happened with Cartoon Network... and if it was limited to Dish's uplink OR if this has effected Cartoon Network on other carriers.
(Note until I know for sure it effected outside of Dish, I'm posting it in the Dish forum. Will move it to the general TV forum if DirecTV or cable customers were also affected).
