Suddenly, I can't navigate through saved cities on the Weather Network app. Anybody else?

Tridus · 2012-06-23, 07:21 AM

I only have one saved city, but it came up no problem. Not sure how helpful that is.

FibreOp TV is out today in the Rockingham,Clayton Park area of Halifax...just wondering how wide spread it is.(I just called my buddy and his is off too)
I've never had an outage this long before when I was with Bell Sat....hope its not a sign of things to come.
I can't imagine a room full of people sitting around looking at a blank screen in the middle of the Super Bowl.
Aliant is probably punishing me for complaining on this forum about the lack of HD channels and a premium sports bundle !! LOL
Noticed the Aliant website is also down so I'll probably call in to find out when service will be restored.

Oh well at least the internet works !

FibreOP is down everywhere in Atlantic Canada as per Tier 2 support!!

They are working to restore it as quickly as possible.

Thanks for the info Nelak....probably a piece of equipment failed.

FYI, my TV was down too so I rebooted the box and also rebooted the router. When the box came back on I got a message stating that a software update was ready and would take 20 minutes. I hit ok. Still waiting...

Only been 2 minutes so far.

Just read on Facebook that the entire FibreOP system in Atlantic Canada has crashed.

sherwooddavid · 2012-06-23, 01:47 PM

It just came back on.

Commander_Kang · 2012-06-23, 01:57 PM

Back online after software update. Not sure what, if any, changes were made.

COSMO TV has been added on channel 276!

sherwooddavid · 2012-06-27, 03:35 PM

Don't see it... must be part of a theme pack I don't have

?

McPatrick · 2012-06-27, 05:26 PM

yea i don't have it either. no big loss though

Dr.Dave · 2012-06-27, 06:33 PM

If you don't see a new channel in your guide, try rebooting the STB.

Edit: incorrect
It should be in the guide even if you don't subscribe to it (unless you've removed it by customizing your channels).

Not unless it's on free preview, Aliant changed the guide to only show subscribed channels by default.

Just checked for COSMO TV at my in-laws place and they don't seem to have it either. I suspect it's in a theme pack that I subscribe to but they don't.
