Beginning around midnight ET tonight, users of Comcast's new
X1 platform
from areas across the country have reported blank screens from their
boxes. As of about 3AM, at least a few indicate service is coming back
on, while others still can't watch anything on TV. There's no official
response from the various Comcast social media accounts, but a peek at
DownDetector.com
and forum threads reveals the issue is hitting several areas coast to
coast all at once. The new cloud enabled TV platform and DVRs
aren't available everywhere yet,
so reports are clustered in a few areas. For people wary of a move
towards "cloud computing", issues like this with the new DVRs that get
their information via internet protocol is just another reason to love a
standalone box. We'll check with Comcast to see if we can get any more
information regarding the outage, let us know in the comments how things
are working in your area.
