The same situation with Directv. As of before midnight last night -- say about 9-10 pm -- the black screen of death appeared telling me that the receiver could not communicate with the satellite.
I tried all the ways to contact Directv and nothing worked. Could not get through. I know Comcast and Directv are different -- cable vs satellite -- but it seems odd that they went out within hours of each other.
I am beginning to wonder if the satellite itself is damaged.
My CenturyLink (cable internet) still works. Thank goodness for Roku.
