......and this is a bad thing??

I'm sorry....couldn't help myself.

not happening in my area.

could be weather related?? your cable company? have you called them yet??

I don't think it's a specific FOX thing, or we'd all be experiencing trouble.

My TV is making buzzing noises and the screen is still black.

I just think this is toooo weird!

I can get all the other channels.
Somebody turn your tv on and see if you are getting the same thing as I am.

There was a major power outage between NY and DC. Could that be the problem?

I was thinking the same thing.


I wonder if there is a connection with the power outage.

Something very strange about this.

I'm in Florida and still have Fox (unfortunately)
Although, for some reason Cartoon Network popped out for a few earlier.
I'm guessing it's a localized cable problem...happens a lot especially with digital cable.

I'm in Florida too.

Just keep an eye on Fox for a little while to see if it go's out on you too.

Do you have Brighthouse cable? It's been fine all morning, and I've had on Fox News since I first read this thread.
I have the regular basic cable, but my brother has the super-duper digital package and ALWAYS has problems like you are describing - usually just one or two channels wig out for anywhere from 2 minutes to an hour or more.
Technology - it ain't all that

Yes, I do have BrightHouse Cable but this has never happened before today.

I still can't get Fox News but I can get all the other channels.

Oh well, guess its not important.

I wish I knew why so many people HATE Fox News.

Power Outages:
Up and down the East Coast from Baltimore to Washington....

......solar flares???????

You watch FOX news?

Because Fox is not news , it is hardcore propaganda. The XXX of propaganda. Soceital pornograghy. I find it strange that anyone who spent more than five minutes on this site would wonder what was wrong with Fox.

I hope solar flares is all it is.

Don't you think it is a coincidence that Amtrak lost all power and stranded thousands of people and then Fox is blacked out?

Blame it on what you will but this is troubling to me.

Fox has cuter newsbabes.
Thats all there is to it.

As for a good news source. It doesn't matter who you watch. They are all agenda driven. YOu almost have to watch all available news outlets, to piece together your own version of the truth.

Oh, and to keep it on topic. Fox is on, loud and clear over Dish Network..

I find Nothing wrong with Fox news and I like it.

The Department of Homeland Security's office inside of Fox news felt you did not need to know the particular issue that was being reported on. Do not ask again for an explanation.

That's a little strange. Did you try the Service Provider?

"I find nothing wrong with Fox News and I like it"
That's cool too Rose, it's just that, some folks feel that the "News" part of their name is a bit mystifyin'.
Time and time again, Fox News seems to prove themselves to be somewhat LESS than fair and just an utter pant-load of imbalanced.
But, then again, that's just my opinion.
Hope your cable worrys are now over...Enjoy O'Reilly tonight.
I know I always do.
Best,
