Mild-mannered photo satellite goes rogue, threatens to ruin joy on May 23rd.
CNN is reporting that a freakin' rogue satellite, Galaxy 15, will be busting into another satellite's orbit soon. Why does that affect you? Because your cable TV might get interrupted!
Yes, cable TV programming in the United States is in danger of being seriously messed up on May 23rd. The day of the Lost finale! Apparently, the company that owns the satellite says they've known about the problem for more than a month and that the impact on cable will be "minimal."
"The reality is it's not quite as sexy as it sounds," said Dianne VanBeber, a spokeswoman for Luxembourg-based Intelsat. "If we did absolutely nothing, it would create confusion ... [but] we're working with the limited number of customers that are on that satellite and taking active steps to make sure any interference is limited or completely avoided."
Damn you, Galaxy 15!!! You better not start creating televisual chaos until May 24th!
heh XD
