Locals Out in Chicago?

[hojni]

My dad just called from Orland Park, IL to say that he could not get any of the Chicago locals. I just checked mine and found nothing. Anybody else experiencing problems in Chicago?

Not Chicago but 3 out of 4 denver's just went out. Missed the last part of Futurama.

Stuff from 61.5 is OK but from 119 it's dead here.

I just did a switch test on my 721 and am receiving signals on transponder 19 from both 110 and 119, so we haven't lost an entire satellite. I am assuming that the spots are out. i am going to call Dish.

Locals out in Waco, Tx too:( Missed THE SIMPSONS:(

Called Dish, but couldn't get through. Looks like a wide-scale problem.

Yep, Simpsons froze, then went black. All locals for me (Dallas, TX) were gone for about 30 min. I switched over to the national FOX (ch 247 for me). Now, the locals seem to be back.

I love this forum. Talk about immediate response! It eases my nerves knowing it's not just my 721.

Thanks guys.
