Sophon TV outage - just me?

Featured Replies

Sophon cable TV was working this morning but since lunchtime all we seem to have is white fuzz.

Anybody else have this problem or is it just me? Located in between Nua and Klang just off 3rd road.

No problems here, approx same area but I think closer to Pattaya Klang

Question (offtopic) did you had a power outage last night ?

  • Author

Thanks MJCM. Slightly concerning then.

No, no power outage - microwave still showing correct time so not even a short one.

The TV company might have had a specific problem as a result of the down pour you guys had last night. Not an electrical power-cut during the storm but something could have slowly seeped into their cables etc.

I only suggest this because I had loss of TV signals for 2 days last year, whilst down the road they were OK. The guys fiddled around with something at the end of the road, said it was now OK and blamed a thunderstorm.

Not much help to you really I suppose.

Switched on to see about 8.30am before I left to play golf and was all back on as normal. Unfortunately no idea what the problem was.

I had that same thing happen to me once in a rented apartment where I was staying.

I was moving out the next day so I couldn't be bothered. But (much) later we found out that the landlady had gambled the money which was supposed to pay for the Cable TV and maybe also other things biggrin.png

I think that what "topt" encountered was not what you describe, but a complete outage. So nothing showing on the screen but "white static" on all channels. What happens during rainstorms is usually that it displays a message like "lost signal" or something else and you will still have a couple of channels that are "watchable"

MJCM is correct and it was well after any storm/rain/wind had finished with service ok in the morning and then kaput all afternoon.
