4. I am going to send them this link so they can see what we experienced
or didn't.

I personally don't have a TV but I wouldn't put this past Herr Murdoch and his drones

5. Not here.
I saw the entire segment. My only complaint was that it was too short.

8. I live in KY and had intermittent problems
To be honest, the storm previously known as Frances was going thru the region to the east of where I live. It had already stopped raining where I lived but storms were likely going on to the south east of us.

We lost the signal 2 or 3 times during the entire 60 minutes show. I switched over to rabbit ears to pick it back up. When commercials came on, I would check to see if the satellite signal was back and usually it was.

We also lost the signal once during King of Queens.

Likely culprit ... Mother Nature ... not the evil gop bastards.

10. blackout in NE PA
yeah - I live in Bradford Cty and the station from Scranton WYOU- channel 22 (not cable - I use my own antenna) went off the air just as it was starting - was able to switch to the New York CBS station - WBNG - channel 12 and watch. very weird - it was raining but the station came back right after 60 minutes.

11. DTV here. No problem seeing 60 minutes II
Ya gotta love Dan Rather for helping us expose GWB. I hope he can continue to keep the Swifties off the CBS shows.

13. Came in fine in West L.A. Of course, you'd expect it to, here. We're
mighty liberal on the Westside (thank God!).
