Major Satellite issue - Shaw Direct

[tknez16]

I just heard this and figured people should know:

Beginning around 6:30 am Thursday morning, Shaw Direct customers began telling Digital Home that they were no longer able to receive numerous television channels, including most HD channels.
The source of the problem is a malfunctioning geostationary communications satellites launched by Telesat Canada called Anik F2.

So basically, all HD and NHLCI are gone from Shaw Direct because Telesat's satellite turned around to face away from the earth.

Speculation is that it's related to the solar storm last night.

Well that sounds easy to fix.
