dunoo if this might interest you Last night at apx 10:00 satellite T1 (Telstar 401) went away...
Fox and ABC News one channel are now over on T2 (Telstar 402) located at 89 degrees west... Fox is on transponders 1,2,7,10,13,17,20,23 ABC has feeds on 8,21,22
I haven't yet found where the UPN feeds are going to be....
ATT Satellite Enginering support has said that it is gone with no hope of recovery...
Some ugly roumors are starting to float about alleged threats to FOX to do this by unnamed Gov agencys due to the negetive views that FOX had been reporting to the public about them....
Have you heard anything??
