I've been up since 3:45AM and there's been nothing but a black screen on WUVN/18 since then. I know they are still on the air because I'm can still pick up the ghosting from Channel 18 on Cable Channel 69. I know it's a problem with 18 and not with COX Cable as the ghosting I can see is a blank screen. Usually I can see whatever programming Channel 18 is showing in the ghosting.

WUVN/18 Blanked Out Since at least 345AM

I noticed that this morning too and something told me you'd be mentioning it.
Might be some work going on at the transmitter site as the DTV signal is off the air, I'm also getting a blank screen on the analog ota and cable.
On a side note, WRNT 48 seems to be nothing but color bars for a 3rd (or 4th) week now.

Just checked at 11:18 and 18 is back on. I also wonder if they're gonna be running this station seperately from Channel 27 in Boston. Lately I've seen a lot of promos for the station referring to the station as "Univision 18" and "Univision Hartford-New Haven." The only times I'm still seeing it as "Univision New England" is when they're simulcasting the news from Channel 27.
As for Channel 48, nothing surprise me about them. In fact they're listed as being "DARK". http://www.bia.com/resources_search_result.asp?calls=WRNT&media=TV

Whew, I was getting worried there.
The dish was probably full of snow, happens in a snow storm, pretty normal and expected this time of year.

Yeah. I just bought an antenna and noticed that. What's the status of WHCT-LP 38? Do they still run TV Azteca? The reason I ask is because they had an infomercial for The Nuwave Oven dubbed in Spanish on at 3PM when I hooked up my antenna. And then the infomercial came on again at 330PM. That just seems kind of odd if they're still affiliated with TV Azteca.
