Can't get TWC Local Forecast to Load on DirecTV

Hey, for the last 3 days we can't get TWC Local Forecast on DirecTV to load. It was fine until then. Is anyone else experiencing issues with it?

Thanks!

I don't use DirecTV, but in doing an Internet search (and looking on their community support forum) I don't see any recent reports. Have you tried calling your local support folks?

Thanks, that was my next step, if no one else is experiencing issues with TWC and local forecast.

Is it the local weather which is loaded by hitting the right arrow button? I just tried mine and it worked.

WNHD works with the red button as the TWC. It may be a problem with your net connection? Try reloading it and see if that helps.

You're welcome, MESPal. I just looked at The Weather Channel website and their local forecast pages aren't accessible ("Page Not Found" errors). In checking their Facebook page, there are lots of complaints. Possibly, DirecTV accesses that part of the website and, as a result, can't load any new information.

MESpal, Direct TV has dropped all TWC channels during the contract dispute.

We have TWC and went through the same thing last summer when they dropped CBS for the entire summer. Had to pay for it anyway. UGH!!
