Lightning In A Bottle

The satellite feed was missing again this morning. At this point, it's a pretty safe bet that it has moved, probably permanently, to another location. This morning, I got up and tooled around the satellites during the time the show would have been on, but got nothing. There are dozens of satellites, each having many "channels." It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

We will continue to look for the feed, but that's a big job. I have my suspicions the show is preparing to go digital or high-def. I also have a hunch the feed may have moved to one of the newer Canadian satellites, which I assume support the digital format. Unfortunately, my hunch isn't worth much more than a Bo Brady hunch on a donut sugar-high when it comes to this kind of thing.

I, of course, would have looked on the new Canadian satellites first this morning, except they aren't programmed into our system. We would have to call Norris the Satellite Tycoon to do that. I'm not saying Norris is expensive, but he drives a $78,000 2008 Range Rover which gets 11 mpg and told me, "I hope the price of gas goes up so we can get the riff raff off the road."

So before I go contributing to Norris' favorite charity (Norris), I would like to know for sure where this feed has gone. We will continue to look, but we have an extremely large readership base and would ask you to do the same. I've been Googling whatever I can think of regarding DOOL and satellites but so far, have found nothing. If you hear anything, either by using search engines or one of our forums, please let us know. Our email address, prevuze@gmail.com, is always posted at the top of the page, and that's the best way to communicate with us.

Until we find the feed, it just isn't practical to keep doing the daily recaps. We may post a few things, but the key to everything is the day-ahead information.

Major league websites play it close to the vest when it comes to revealing readership, so we can't make many comparisons. But we have learned this: Based on the count of page hits and "uniques," as they are called, Prevuze has a larger readership (much larger, I might add) than Wired Magazine, which in the technical world is an Internet powerhouse.

So with Prevuze, we seem to have caught lightning in a bottle. OUR READERS ROCK! We really appreciate your support, comments and feedback. We'll continue to look for the feed, you please do the same, and we'll try to keep this ball rolling.

Thanks,
Prevuze
