The Orb Support Team will coordinate a back-up circuit failover work session at PBS NOC, impacting National terrestrial program feeds to Interconnection:
Maintenance Event Start: Tuesday, May 19th, 5:00 AM EDT (2:00 AM PDT)
Maintenance Event End: Tuesday, May 19th, 7:00 AM EDT (4:00 AM PDT)
Maintenance Event Duration: 2 Hours
Station Impact:
There will be NO impact to Satellite services, file delivery, or linear streams provided by your station to PBS Digital and other streaming platforms during this Maintenance event.
During the work session, the following TERRESTRIAL linear stream could be unavailable for the duration of the maintenance window:
PBS-01 (NPS-East)
PBS-02 (NPS-West)
PBS-03 (PBS Kids)
PBS-04 (HD-64 contribution stream) – Unallocated during maintenance window
PBS-05 (HD-65 contribution stream) – Unallocated during maintenance window
PBS-06 (HD03)
Stations may plan to switch away from the affected terrestrial streams (to the corresponding satellite streams, or to alternative programming) during this period to avoid this service disruption.
The Maintenance activity will be completed, and normal service should resume no later than 7:00 AM ET (4:00 AM PT).
If a service disruption occurs during this window, no action is required from Interconnection sites. If connectivity or task processing issues persist after the maintenance window has ended, please contact Orb Support for assistance.
