Destination America off air

For a while now I've been met with "Temporarily Off Air" every time I tune to Destination America (channels 1103 and 103). I watch this channel the most and would like to see it come back. I checked the forums here and can't find anything recent about the outage. What's going on?

No news from Cox? It's still out, has been for at least a couple weeks. Channel cycling doesn't change anything because it's not just a black screen. It actually has the "Temporarily Off Air" card. I went to Destination America's web site and did a search for channels in my area (85032) and it said they aren't on Cox.

Hi Spica2041,

I get the "Temporarily Off Air" error message on channel 103 and 1103, also. I'm so sorry about this! I've reported it to our video engineers, and I'll update you as soon as I get more info. I'm hopeful we can get this resolved quickly for you. Thanks for letting us know!

Spica2041,

I'm showing the ticket is closed. Are you still getting the message on these channels?

I just checked and both still have the Temporarily Off Air cards. Nothing has been fixed :(

Hi Spica2041,

Unplug the power from your cable box for 2 minutes, and then plug the power back in. Give the cable box time to go through its reboot cycle. If Destination America continues to show the TOA message after the reboot, it might be time to schedule a service call. Please let us know!

I'm so sorry, I didn't realize I had another response until now. I just came back to check (email notification must have gone to spam by accident). Unplugging the box for a few minutes worked!

Thanks for your help!  Now I can watch my ghost shows lol.
