Can you get on Surf the Channel?

Question

I use surfthechannel.com a lot at night instead of cable. I used it earlier today and it worked just fine. Now, I get this message: 503 Service Unavailable: No server is available to handle this request.

I have tried both IE and Mozilla.

Can someone else please check and see if they get the same message? I want to know if it is the site or my computer.

Answer 1

Seems like its been down since at least 9pm EST (8/19).  I visit to watch reruns of sci fi shows and the random cable show (no cable).

Perhaps they are fooling with the server? (software update, wholesale link changes)

Answer 2

nope server is offline

Answer 3

it doesnt work anymore lol i tried too

Answer 4

It's down and most likely for good.

How it stayed online for so long is a mystery to me.

Answer 5

Ya - it's down alright. totally sucks! BUT, you know that site just provides links to other sites - doesn't host the vids. Soooo you can go to like:

www.56.com

www.tudou.com

www.megavideo.com

www.hulu.com

to name a few - and search for the shows you like there.

Hopefully STC will be back up soon! Remember what happened to tv-links.uk :( they got shut down for being the same kind of linking site to "copyrighted" content. Anyways - hope that helps a bit.
