KSDK (Channel 5) in St. Louis not working
Not sure what's going on, if it's a DirecTV Stream issue, a network issue, a tv station issue, or what. What I DO know is that nothing is broadcasting on Channel 5 on Sunday, March 16, 2025 in the St. Louis area via DirecTV Stream. There's a message on the screen which says "There is a problem with this channel. Whoops, looks like the video feed for this channel isn't working. Please choose something else to watch while they try to get it going again". All other channels in the DirecTV Stream Premium package are working just fine. I've been searching for an explanation online but can find nothing that explains what's going on. All was working with KSDK Friday evening throughout the extreme weather and tornadoes in our area because I watched the weather coverage on that channel, but today it's like the channel has disappeared.

Almost certainly an issue with that station's feed to DirecTV.

Just checked KSDK over the air and it's not working, so likely a situation with the station.

Same here, still not able to watch KSDK (NBC) Monday morning. Can find nothing explaining the outage.
would be nice if DirecTV at least acknowledged there IS an outage!

Statement from KSDK:
"The storms that moved through the area Friday damaged KSDK’s transmitter in south St. Louis County, affecting the station's over-the-air signal. Crews are making emergency repairs, which may impact viewers who receive our signal with an antenna or through DirecTV."

Same problem here. Station is also not available via antenna, so likely something wrong with the station itself.

About 60 miles across from the river into Illinois KSDK is my NBC station. This is what happened to me as reported in a thread started by me. "Mid afternoon Central Daylight Time in the USA I watched part of the golf on NBC until they went to a weather delay on March 16, 2025. In the midst of that delay I got the blank screen with the message on it "There's a problem with this channel". I have continued to get that on every thing I have that runs DirecTV stream." Discovered when they came back via this thread and a post in the one I started. BUT. . . I am getting at noon from the network what I usually get at 1:00 pm.
