Cable Frozen

[Johnskiismore]

My cable has been frozen since 4:27PM!! This is aggravating, I want to watch Shadow Forces! Arrgghh!!

What is kinda funny though is that some of the frozen pictures look nice, while other are ver unflattering of people's faces!

It's usually a range of channels if you have an analog cable feed. The problem is usually a software crash (no surprise, right?) in the cable head end but it could be snow/ice in the dish mucking with the satellite signal. If they can't bring the machine back to life remotely, somebody has to physically go to the building and cycle power on the sucker or get on a ladder and clean out the dish.

I'd really like to hope that in NH, someone is smart enough to install dish heaters on the earth stations. Even then, I've seen dishes ice over, but usually it just results in some major macroblocking, not a steady frozen picture.

It was weird, every channel except the Weather Channel. When I went to bed at around 1:30AM they were still frozen, all good now!

I used to sell Satallite dishes in Montana and although it was cheaper than cable..in extreme weather conditions they can suck..

My Cable, internet and phone were out for since noon yesterday. Just got up and running around dinner time. But we seemed to be ground zero for the ice-storm. I was happy to still have electricity.

My apartment just outside Albany lost power Sometime after I went to bed Thursday night. I have no heat, water(well) or power,and the power company "hopes" to have it on by Wednesday. I would love to have a frozen tv signal.
