Issue with SAT 82 channels missing - April 13 - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

Is there a known issue for SAT 82?
No signal on most of the channels from sat 82

It is 1:30am in Montreal. Channels on Sat91 are working

Everything seems to be down right now here on the West Coast (10:30pm PDT).
Did a comet hit the satellites or something? What's up, Bell????

Edit: While it seemed everything was out, I find that AMC-HD is working; however, most other HD is out, along with many of the SD channels (which made me think it was both satellites; I also got the "searching for signal" looking for transponders on 91, which made me think it was fubar'd as well).

Many transponders on 82 missing since about 1130 - winnipeg.

It's out here in Newfoundland too. Not sure if it's related, but GSN 639 has no audio.

Everything was fine this morning for me. I was watching stuff about the debate last night when my sat went weird. I had switched over the weather network to quickly check my local weather report and that's when it got stuck on WN. If I pressed any button the tv went black and the box rebooted itself. Could not get out of the WN so left it hoping everything would be fine in the morning.

Glad to know it wasn't just me and I don't have to ask for a new box!

I thought it was my 9200 playing up. I switched off and listened to the Radio.

Dose any one know what happened?

Pinza · 2011-04-14, 12:45 PM

Nothing official from within Bell that I have heard yet.

They are sure keeping it "quiet".

Ours has been gone for an hour or so - sat 91 working fine. Tried to send a Bell support chatter to this thread but they have no internet access, they say.

Phone help was no help - suggested a service call.

How long was it out on 4/13? Anybody experiencing issues today?

No issues reported from all the Techs I communicate with.

Try running a "Check Switch".

At night some of the odd transponders on sat 82 disappear. Everything comes back to normal during the day? I see this on both receivers (6131 and 6141).

LNB issue? 2 bad connectors ( off the same LNB)?
