Why are all local channels streaming but national are not?

All of the local Kansas City stations for ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX appear to be streaming this morning while national channels such as CNN and CNBC are coming in perfectly through satellite?  You can't record streaming stations so there is no way to record major network programs.  What's going on?

Most of everything should be restored by now, and if not, by tonight the latest

Juniper, thanks for the response.  The satelliteguys.us website provided a lot more information about the problem than the banner you referenced on this site.  You can actually diagnose the problem yourself.  From your Directtv menu, select "Settings", "Satellite", and "View Signal Strength".  That will show you which satellites and transponders are operating and at what signal strength.  Good to periodically check to see how well your dish sees the satellites.
