Why did I suddenly lose NBC on March 16, 2025?

Mid afternoon Central Daylight Time in the USA I watched part of the golf on NBC until they went too a weather delay. 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.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Jane. Can you share your ZIP code, so we can look into it? John, DIRECTV Community Team

Are you a DirecTV Stream or DirecTV Via Internet subscriber?

If you are using KSDK in STL, see below:

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."

It seems in trying not to get toooo long I missed some that could help others help me.

I am a stream customer and use it on a cell phone with the Android OS and several TVs with Koku boxes attached to them.

My Zip code is 62801

We appreciate the information. There was a reported outage in Rockford, IL, but it was already fixed on 03/15/2025. We're sending you a DM to investigate further. John, DIRECTV Community Team

I have heard of DM but have had no reason to use them.  How do I get at what is being sent?

@Jane_B 

That would be a Direct Message (DM). It is a private user to user chat in the forum. When you receive a message from an official forum employee you will have a new option in the upper right (when you're logged in). Will look like a speech/text box or bubble. You do get an email when a new DM is available but the message itself is in th forum.

Just make sure to respond rather soon as they can time out.
