This morning WTRF's CBS station has been off the air and cable, with no mention on their website or news cast. 7.2 (Fox) and 7.3 (ABC) are still working on both OTA and Cable.

Multiplexer problem, I imagine.

No, 1960s gear melted down.

Still a major oopsie.

Are they still having issues? DirecTV just had something on that channel that says

"NO NEED TO CALL US

Service will be restored as soon as technical difficulties are resolved.
Please check this channel periodically for status.

SORRY FOR THE INTERRUPTION"

What the hell are they doing here? If they had a meltdown of something, it seems to be pretty severe if it's persisting this long.

Of course, we DirecTV subscribers can only hope that WTRF (at least I'm assuming it's something on their end) is FINALLY going to do something about the issue of their ABC/FOX feeds never being in HD on their subchannels when watched on DirecTV. Doubtful they can be that bothered about it, but it's getting rather annoying that Comcast subscribers are the only people that seem to be allowed to watch those channels in HD!
