Weather over S. Florida tries to satellite block my SuperBowl Sunday

I turned on DirecTV today and tried to get NBC 6 (or anything else HD for that matter) and I was getting “Satellite not found” errors. I looked at the Weather over South Florida …

Weather over South Florida on Super Bowl Sunday

Anyway after trying and trying all the HD channels … I watched the Super Bowl a bit in SD … I decided to do a reset on my Satellite Receiver Box and after it came back on and re-aligned and tracked everything (got satellite info., …) The HD channels came back just fine.

I also moved my Amateur Radio VHF Yagi Antenna (turned it) to make sure it wasn’t adding to the obstruction of the DirecTV Satellites as well.

The box could have become “hung” a bit after losing the satellites due to obstructions … It is also possible that I glitched it last night transmitting with 500 to 600 watts on H.F. / SSB on Amateur Radio. I probably should turn that box off when transmitting on H.F./SSB.

* Super Bown XLVI - Brought to you by lots of technology like ATSC - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATSC_standards

- H.D.T.V. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-definition_television

- H.264/MPEG-4 AVC

- An nice powerful RF transmitters on Uplink Stations, your local TV Stations, and Downlink on Satellites like DirecTV …

… Even if you are hard wired (Cable TV) … it came via Radio Signals (Satellite) before you got it. Everything is wireless
