Apparently after talking to the AMOS-3 guys the issue with the erector was that two jack didn't lift and the erector stopped during its automatic roll-back at around 2 minutes before lift-off
More later, sleep time now

The bummer was that the angle chosen by the webcast operators for the launch vehicle pretty much hid the erector issue from those of us watching. Instead, we got to watch Shimon Peres talk about something or other.

I've been trying the MSN one. The link on the AMOS website has disappeared.

It just won't start. Not even coloured bars.
Yeah, I'm getting no joy on that one too.

Coming up on L-20 mins. Still no webcast. This is starting to remind me of COSMO-2.

L-23 minutes (roughly) and still only color bars. I'm not even sure if they are going to broadcast this flight. I assume this is a big deal for Spacecom so if there were a webcast I'd imagine they'd make it plainly visible on their site.
It's also possible that the link we have is outdated and they are using a different one for tonight. Hopefully Anik or someone can hook us up with a feed if that is the case.

It's either going to be 1. a late start because they don't want to repeat things shown during the scrubbed attempt, 2. they've forgotten to turn the webcast on (a la COSMO-2), or 3. it's been scrubbed, but news hasn't filtered through yet. I can't see any reason why they would intentionally webcast one attempt, but not the next.

5 mins to go. No sign of anything. I've opened a feed of the Russian Vesti news station on the offchance they might have something, but nothing yet.
