Twice a year, you may experience some degree of television interference due to “sun outages.” Such outages are caused by a phenomenon called a “solar satellite interference.” These brief outages occur when the sun passes directly behind satellites transmitting cable signals. When the sun is aligned with a satellite, solar radiation, an energy the sun is emitting, interferes with the satellite’s signal and thus causes a brief signal outage.
Sun outages occur every year, in Fall and Spring, and last approximately about a week each time. This Fall, sun outages are expected during the period of October 4 through October 12, 2016.
During the sun outage, you may experience a pixelated picture, picture freezes, or audio distortions for a brief period of time.
The sun outage happens only during the day between 11am and 5:30pm (no sun, no interference) and is brief, lasting for a few minutes—from 5 minutes, up to 45 minutes.
RCN apologizes for any inconvenience a sun outage may cause. However, solar satellite interference is out of our control. Please be patient and everything will get back to normal. If you have question about sun outages, please contact RCN.

Futatsuki Ramen, an Uptown gem, suffered serious water damage to its storefront after a fire last September that originated in the tenant spaces above it. It has not been able to open since then, despite hopes of a quick turnaround.In a Facebook post today, the family that owns it said they are looking for a new space in which to reopen and are looking for suggestions. We'd love to see them stay in Uptown, and think a spot close to Truman College would be ideal. Maybe the previous Alma Pita space at Wilson between Malden and Magnolia? The former Snacks 4… [...]
Happy Life Laundromat just opened its doors at 4700 N. Racine in the Darlington Apartments building.Extensive renovations were done in the lower level retail space of the building. It's been many, many years since there was any sort of retail in this space, so we are happy to see the space activated with something that residents can utilize. The space is bright and welcoming and they feature XL washers for those items that might not fit in standard washers.
