"DirecTV Outage: Nationwide Service Disruption Explained"

DirecTV customers across Southern California and the country experienced widespread outages due to a "satellite positioning issue," prompting the company to work on bringing the satellite back online. Affected customers were advised to use the DIRECTV app on mobile devices or activate SignalSaver via an internet connection on a capable set-top box. The outages come shortly after AT&T, DirecTV's parent company, faced cellular coverage issues attributed to a software update.
