Large vertical colored bars when watching TV

OK here we go again. Fox News is not on Uverse again. No other channel has these problems. Newsmax and OAN got dropped recently over "business decision". ATT need to fix these "technical difficulties" or start losing subscribers.!

There is no such thing as coincidences.

You can't blame AT&T if it's an issue upstream.

If it was a carriage contract issue, there'd be a blue screen with a message and other Fox-owned channels (such as Fox Business and FS1) would also have that same message.

The message would also appear overnight and not at a random time during the day.

AT&T makes large-scale donations to that party.

I doubt if AT&T is trolling Republicans. It wouldn't be in their best interest to do so. But let's keep the political comment out of what was a technical issue.

In addition to those mentioned, Turner Classic, CNN, all of the Starz channels are black screen, as are Cozi, TBS and TNT. Showtime and Hallmark were black or pixilated but came back on normally. Followed HELP instructions and rebooted receiver multiple times, pressed the AT&T button on the top of the remote, but nothing worked.

I was going to say that it's all the channels in the Discovery group but that is not the case.   

Fox News had their issue yesterday and came back in an hour with no explanation.  Let's hope for a quick resolution today.  

  @baseballisback  What say you?

Fox News is just one of MANY channels missing this morning.

TNT, TBS, Discovery, FX, Comedy, TV1, TRU, JC, GSN, Freeform, CNN, Weather, TLC, Animal Planet, Science, AHC, ID, Nat, DAM, VH1.

Let's take off our tinfoil hats and try to find an answer, right @baseballisback ?

How about we trade in the jokes and just offer up some honest-to-goodness communication from AT&T, huh? What the heck is going on, and how long will we have to wait for a resolution?

Seriously, there are MULTIPLE channels showing a black screen (a test pattern would at least be some type of communication, no?), and y'all are just posting the same (stupid) replies to the multiple posts here and it is not helping.

@Constructive - if it is truly "technical difficulties", is it so hard to let subscribers know that, instead of letting us go crazy with conspiracy theories?  A little communication goes a long way.

Okay, I get it - the 'conspiracy theories' comment was over the top. My bad.  FWIW, I don't give a (Edited per community guidelines) about Fox/Faux News. Wifey is upset about missing TCM channel and the many others that are (or were this morning) not showing up. All we see is a black screen, nothing more.

@skeeterintexas - a test pattern would be better communication than the blank screens we are seeing.

To help regulate P O O P I understand fiber improves the condition.


https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/fiber/art-20043983

more fiber. You've probably heard it before. But do you know why fiber is so good for your health?

Dietary fiber — found mainly in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes — is probably best known for its ability to prevent or relieve constipation. But foods containing fiber can provide other health benefits as well, such as helping to maintain a healthy weight and lowering your risk of diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer.

You've removed (Edited per community guidelines) channels and this is not acceptable.  My mother who is 91 years old listens to Fox all day.  It just happens to be a glitch? In the atmosphere today do you really think you LOYAL customers believe that.  Fix it or this will be the last straw.
