FOX Channel knocked out on DIRECTV
Vanity

Posted on 12/09/2010 3:49:59 AM PST by Ahithophel

Anyone else experience this? Within a minute of Fox & Friends coming on the air at 5 am CST on DIRECTV Thursday morning, the channel was replaced with the Ci Channel (never heard of it) followed by a "technical difficulty" message from DIRECTV. Interesting timing/coincidence in light of suspected Wikileaks-related attacks on MasterCard, etc. I'm verklempt; discuss.

As long as TBN is still on the air we'll be fine. LOL!

Whenever I see a picture of those two, I’m left wondering if Ringling Bros. isn’t missing a few employees.

>> the channels that you never watch never have “technical difficulties”. <<

Yeah, I’m constantly noticing the same phenomenon. And ditto for the radio stations I’ve never listened to. They’re always on the air.

Lotsa meteor shower activity this month. Just a meteor that interrupted the beam from the uplink station to the Clarke belt?

(Or maybe it was Santa’s sleigh out on a test run?)

When our kids were younger they called that TBN woman the “Poodle Lady”. We thought that was a good name for her since she does indeed look like a groomed poodle.
