NOAA Radar App is back online.
It has come to my attention today that the DirecTv NOAA Radar App has been down for a few days and was most likely showing the last status message for the radars.
I have located the issue and have since corrected it. The web server that the app runs on had a configuration change that prevented the app from retrieving remote images.
Thank you to those that alerted me of this issue and feel free to contact me if you have any issues and questions.

I just checked and it’s showing up fine for me.
If any radar goes offline, you can check it’s status by going to http://radar.weather.gov
I also checked the radar’s status page there and found this:
NOUS62 KMLB 182229 AAA

MESSAGE DATE: JAN 18 2012 5:27

My guess is they are working on it and I just happened to see it when it was back online for testing.
