ABC2 won't be updated for awhile ...... bear with us please. I'm sure you don't want a long winded explanation as to why ..... it is beyond our control right now.
I'm sure you assume incorrectly. This is an interruption to service and I, for one, am annoyed I had to search on the forums to find out about it. And to compound matters, there is no official announcement or explanation of the outage other than your reference above, which completely dismisses the problem.
Mitch, I'm not personally having a go at you here. But ICE should be way more proactive with things like this... it's what people pay for. At the very least, a forum announcement should be posted detailing what the problem is and any ETA for resolution.
As you said, it's beyond your control and most people will be forgiving of that. Ironically, even if it was a monumental screw-up on behalf of ICE, most people would forgive that as well (the first time). But to not even voluntarily acknowledge the problem... that is unforgivable and is what will lose ICE subscribers.
Please post an announcement as to why we don't have ABC2 data, and when you are hoping to restore the full service we have all paid for.
