Satellite TV (Dish, Direct, etc) has been having trouble for 10 hours or
so, sometimes losing some channels and occasionally all of them.
Fox News is consistently down, so it could have a human cause, but Space
Weather says we have unusual solar activity.
I no longer have GPS time receivers, so I wonder how GPS is doing.
GPS timekeeping seems to be working fine here in Switzerland.
My situation here today was coincidentally similar to yours: a local
failure with some cableco equipment left me without TV or internet for a
few hours, so the GPS receivers were the only things keeping my network in
sync. No need for holdover, fortunately.
Cheers!
