Everything Else TWC / Re: Is anyone else's TWC feed down?

I still have to commend the team at the Weather Channel for patching something together instead of displaying something else, such as a non-stop Sat. LF. I wonder how they got the equipment back up to make it work...

Apparently NewsBlues reports that they broadcasted from an "earth station" several miles away rather than from the TWC studios, as we had originally assumed.

The SkyTracker unit being used had the pre-June 2007 style, so I'm guessing it was an older (possibly backup) unit.

...and I do agree, some of what we saw this morning was reminiscent of what TWC should be like today, just with a little more organization, of course.

BTW, the HD feed is back, but the HD LF is still down, and the SD satellite LF is still playing at a random order and fading (not hard-cutting) back to the studio, so there's still some work to be done before TWC will be back to 100%. I wonder how they'll handle this.

Well, DirecTV cut away the minute Trammell and the old icons came on. This sucks!

Apparently that static screen happening automatically triggered DirecTV to go back to its tech. difficulties screen. Prior to that, I saw the raw TWC feed for about 10 minutes.

I wish DirecTV would play a raw feed of TWC; I'm missing all the action...

The rock music isn't bad, but I could listen to that anytime if I wanted to.

Rock music? You're not hearing this?

DirecTV is interrupting my feed of TWC most of the time with their own technical difficulties message and rock music from XM.

At least DirecTV is playing some vocal music to compensate; it's like May 7th all over again! >_>

I just went to tune into TWC, and DirecTV has lost both the SD and HD feeds from TWC and is currently displaying DirecTV technical difficulties messages on both channels. Is everyone else's providers still getting a feed from TWC?

I don't know about a turnout, but I would come here much more often if we had apple turnovers...
