It just came back on Directv LP channel 752 and isn't blacked out anymore. I hope it stays that way for the complete game.
The program seems safe enough I dl'ed it but there is nothing on the stream. Don't bother, I uninstalled it right after.
To be even MORE paranoid, it could install something that "works" but has nasty stuff tacked on in the background so you don't even know it. Again: I don't know about this site, but I just don't trust .exe files unless I'm 100% sure about them. Ed O.
NEVER EVER EVER click on an .exe file without knowing the source, you may have just installed a trojan horse on to your system, and uninstalling the program won't fix a trojan; the .exe is just a method for delivering the payload.

Not easy to watch as its just a webcam in front of a tv, but it is the game at least. http://www.justin.tv/placerace
