No Signal - Missing Channels - 6 October, 2011 (ANIK F2 Satellite Down) - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

HowieDoin · 2011-10-06, 08:45 AM

Started this thread so that people can report their findings rather than posting in various other threads...for the record, not getting any HD channels at this time myself....

Missing HD channels here as well. Calling Shaw Direct...

There is a message saying that SD is experiencing video problems with some of their channels and technicians are working on it. I have a feeling it is more serious than that. It could be a satellite failure. Does anyone know what actually happened?

CSR says "a transponder is down." We'll see...

Wow i'm glad I checked here before I called the installer, I too have no HD channels.

I'm on the south shore of Montreal and am not getting any signal either....The message says "acquiring signal"

ScaryBob · 2011-10-06, 09:02 AM

No HD here either. Broken recordings indicate that it went out some time before midnight last night. Other are reporting the problem started about 6:30am. Shaw Direct is aware of the issue.

Same here. I'm located Montreal west island. No signals HD & SD.

atvnut · 2011-10-06, 09:15 AM

I'm back in business my HD just returned.

Hartman85 · 2011-10-06, 09:16 AM

Still have no signal this morning either. But I also can't get the guide either. I can still watch my PVR list but nothing can record and my Recording listing has all N/A beside all the shows I set up.

gaskinno · 2011-10-06, 09:36 AM

Me too here in Hamilton, still no HD.

classicsat · 2011-10-06, 09:37 AM

I noticed no HD at all, and no channels from F2. I thoughtCTV HD was on F12, but never got that.

HowieDoin · 2011-10-06, 09:38 AM

Having a look at lyngsat.com.....it's pretty clear that Anik F2 at 111.1°W is down completely, and not just the HD channels...there are a few HD channels on Anik F1R at 107.3°W that everyone should still be getting.....hopefully not, but this seems serious...
