[MDot]

As others have said...many don't have the choice of Cox. I personally have DirecTV after giving Cox a try twice...never going back. I do have Cox for internet, but it is a business line and I refuse to go to DSL.

HAHAHAHAHA.

I've had cox for the majority of my life and never again. I've also had uverse for a period of time and although its better the customer service in east india was infuriating regardless of how many 20 dollar gift cards they offered me. For the last two years we've had dish and besides today i think we've lost service for 5-10 minutes 3 times and it was always during spring storm season. I'll give them a grace period, its not the end of the world. But if this goes on for a few days with out an automatic credit then they might fall from grace in my eyes.

Dish says satellite 129 is down since 3pm, but you should be able to pick up SD signals from satellites 110 and 119. (Some of the same channels as 129, but standard def only...not HD.)

They also said it "might" be fixed around 11:00pm.

[venture]

Hmm satellite stops working? Maybe there is another cause instead of programming...

[Thunder]

I am going to have to agree with Venture. This could possibly mean something is going on in Space.

Btw, how to they fix satellites? Are they able to go up into space at anytime and quickly? I know NASA take forever to launch and when they launch, its like a big deal. But, just wondering about all the other launches that we never know about.

For manned missions, there's now only two active launching programs: Soyuz and Shenzhou. A damned shame, too.

Oh I should have known better. LOL It was a joke Thunder.

They will likely fix it through programmers on the ground. If the satellite stops working, they have to launch another or use someone else. NASA does, and assists with, many unmanned launches that happen pretty frequently. As far manned though...Mike hit it on the nose. The US is no longer able to send a man into space right now.

[Thunder]

So, why is it that we have daily launches into space that is controlled by computers and robots, but can't send a man up there? What is up with that? Astronauts make so much money that it causes great hardship on budget or something?

Can't sleep. Saw this story from CNN about DISH:

Mikey, that is 14 million angry customers. The aftermath really showed the severity of Americans' problem with obesity and poor health. Watching televisions seem to be their whole life and without it, they panic in a record-breaking way that cockroaches can never beat with the brightest light bulb. I bet 99% of them will demand a full month refund/credit. We could say that this fortunately happened after Ms. Universe sensation or else the entire pageant could have came to a screeching halt.

Amateur astronomers spotted a small UFO close to satellite 129 just before it went down...

The government has since issued a statement that one of their weather balloons got loose and accidently "bumped" satellite 129.

[FRISKY]

It seems satellite 129 was in synchronous orbit directly over area-51 when the UFO took it out. Coincidence?

[Just the facts]

It just goes to show that if someone talks long enough they will say something I agree with. There is a reason TVs cost a thousand dollars and people pay over $100 month to watch it.

I think not

I use both Cox & AT&T - Cox at home and office, and AT&T at two business locations that aren't served by Cox. I'll take Cox over AT&T any day: Service, rates, customer support, options, etc. Cox could be much better to be sure, but it's the best of the two.
