directv blackout ?

[vhelp]

this evening, thursday, a major t-store finished passing over us. it was pretty hard on us. the pounding, lighting and rain.

i looked on my ipod touch weather channel map and all is clear as a whistle. no clouds. in the weather map, i do see a round cloud. i guess that is a hurricane down by N. Carolina. no clue where directv is based.

however, there is no directv picture. and no, the unit did not burnout. i shut down everything during heavy t-storms. tv, receiver, vcr, computer, you name it.

edit: it came back up this morning for me, friday, 8:30am.
