Thaicom 6 3920H transponder down?

There appears to be a major outage today for Thai TV stations using Thaicom C-band Satellite.  Not sure if ground station might have taken a lightning hit last night during the severe storms we had in Bangkok or what but noticed both PSI and GMM unable to obtain normal Channel 31 (channel One) and many other normal signals from C-band.

Turned out to be shorted horizontal low noise amp on my C-band antenna.  That and one PSI STB box lost during the extreme lightning storm Monday night here in Bangkok.  Have not seen close up lighting like this for many years.  Tripped two different RCCD at different times.
