Two things that I've meant to write about for some time, but that always slipped my mind.
An email yesterday brought these to the forefront again:
The nationwide channels usually have Eastern and Western feeds, so that the shows air at the same local times on the East Coast and the West Coast.
The feed we are getting is the Eastern feed. Presumably, this is what Campus Televideo, the Dish Network reseller that UCI uses, gives us.
So, a lot of shows are 3 hours ahead of the schedule printed in the local newspapers.
The second thing: it seems that the audio levels are not normalized. In some channels, the audio level is lower than in others. Professional cable outlets normalize the audio levels
Just got a short email from Bill Zeller:
Joachim - thanks for the message. Kevin Ansel is out of the office until tomorrow, and I need to discuss your concerns with him. I'll get back to you tomorrow or Thursday.

On Friday, I sent another email to Bill Zeller, as a followup to the meeting I had with him and Kevin Ansel (see here.)
I sent it with Receipt Request, and I got a receipt notice. I am awaiting his answer.
This is the email I sent:
The Cable TV outages continue. I continue to update the list whenever I notice an outage.
In recent days, I have noticed, though, that the outages are sometimes fixed before the housing office opens at 8am. So I didn't have to call them and complain
The outages are still a major issue, of course, in particular over the weekends.
