Re: Satellite Outage.
Well, gee whiz! That was fun! 
At least I'm getting hip enough to the (non)workings of this system that I didn't freak out and start trying to "fix it on my end". 
So it was only the 970 transponder on SatMex5 that was affected? Odd...

Actually, the odd has become kind of normal in this mixed up DW world. It doesn't seem that uncommon for one transponder or another to have a problem while everyone else, even on the same satellite, cruises right along. There are so many technical things it "could be": bird crash landed in the dish; someone tripped over the wire; the janitor's kid's basketball hit the dish mount once too often and killed the uplink to that transponder; I've about given up trying to think in terms of normal problems like failed switches and locked up servers and now think in terms of pins falling out of voodoo dolls. It seems to cause less frustration on my part to try and imagine all the creative things that could have gone wrong.... Home Depot delivery semi blocked the transmit dish, maybe?
