I've been alternating between being awake and asleep since 4AM and since that time Weather Channel SD on my COMCAST system in Bristol, CT has been down for the most part. It's just a black screen and occasionally local Weather Channel Weather will appear at the bottom of the screen. They still have Local on the 8's but it's running late so it's Weather on the 0's. After that it's back to the black screen. While I don't subscribe to Weather Channel HD, I can get their audio on Channel 289 and they're on the air as normal including Local on the 8s on the 8s.

Weather Channel SD - Down on Comcast

Whew, I was getting worried there!
Maybe there was something wrong at the network, or something -- apparently, the Weatherstar software at Comcast was still receiving cues and data to display the local forecasts. If there was a signal outage, ordinarily the headend would get nothing.
Anyone else other than Comcast had problems?
