Default Directv and comcast out

Very interesting that both Direct TV and Comcast are out due to technical difficulties. Two different technologies and yet both are out simultaneously.
Wonder what happened??

Would be a shame if they had to call their own tech support

Comcast gets from satellite what it sends out over cable. A large sun spot was about to have a climax on the sun a day or two ago, that can kill communications.

Ha!

Interesting, TVMayor. It was only the local channels that were out on DirecTV for me, but a neighbor with Dish said his were fine.

Not on mine. All the TV was out - DTA boxes included.
