I am pretty impressed with how quickly cable service has been restored!

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says

"Oh Crap, She's up!"

I suspect one problem is that antenna users don't pay for the service and therefore are at the bottom of the list. I'm one of them so am not trying to belittle anyone. What would be nice, though, is having somewhere to find out what's going on with that service and when over-the-air TV might be restored. I haven't a clue where to look for that info. Anyone know?

I just go onto KITV.com and get the little bit of updates that they provide. It seems as though it will take 5 weeks to get a ship out here to repair the break, so we could be looking at close to 2 months of no television service.

It's a communist ploy to get us all to buy cable.

One Thing I can always be sure of is that things will never go as expected.

TV is back on.

Went through the channel preset programming mode and to my suprise I picked up 2 PBS channels that I didn't get before.

Though I missed Pastor Wayne Cordeiro of New Hope tuesday.
(If you miss him on sunday at 6:30 you can catch him again on Tuesday)

Awesome Pastor

The recent fiber outage caused the OTA signal to go dark. The local TV stations recently had to move their Maui transmitters. The new location doesn't of a LOS view of the Oahu transmitter. So, they have to transmit the signal via TW Telecom/Wavecom's fiber.
