Just noticed that our NBC, ABC, and CBS locals are out tonight (black screen) - PBS is fine. We are in the greater Portland, ME area and Sandy is just now moving in. All other channels are fine and system test shows system is ok. Anyone wanna guess why some of the locals are gone? I can only guess that the uplink for those locals got knocked out. Anybody else experiencing a similar problem in your area?

Yes I have no locals here in Virginia Beach

No HD locals in Providence, RI. No "searching for satellite," just off the air. SD locals are fine.

No locals in West Palm Beach, FL, and Sandy was affecting us on Friday.

A DirecTV data ceter covering 8 states was hit with the wrath of Sandy.

Local HD came back, but here is a dumb question. How do you get to see the SD channels? They don't show up in the menu.

Menu >Setup >Settings >Display >Preferences >Guide HD Channels >Show All Channels.

If your in an MPEG4 Market dont bother.
