Related: About this forumAnyone has tried to watch the local PBS channel tpt channel 2?
Their programing in the past few days makes no sense and on their website
https://www.tpt.org/about/contact/
it says that they have problems with their technical equipment and are unable to broadcast the regularly scheduled programs. I cannot even copy the banner.

But in their Facebook page they say "Our station is currently experiencing technical difficulties that are affecting the signal and schedule. We are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience."
So it sounds like antenna damage maybe.. Has there been a lot of ice in the area? That will wreck havoc oil a TV transmission system.

Interestingly, though, their daily PBS NewsHour does come clear and strong. Might be a different routing.

(506 posts)That's TPT Life. It's been playing 2.2, TPT MN, programming. 2.1, the regular channel has been unaffected. I called TPT today.
Apparently, there was a broken part that they hoped to get in yesterday and now they're hoping for it to arrive today. It's apparently a fairly quick fix, once the part arrives. But I see now that 2.3 and 2.2 are now different from each other, but 2.3 still doesn't have its regular programming.
I hope they get it fixed by tomorrow.
