[EAS] Sage Required Update

[Mike McCarthy]

I just checked the site and there is an updated post from 10/7 which said
the "September" version will be released in the next few days.

That leaves 30 days (as of this morning) for the entire pool of 3644 users
to update their boxes in order to maintain IPAWS connectivity if the Nov.
8 date is to be enforced.

I am signed up to receive their updates.

For the roughly 1/2 of stations/cable systems out there with managed a
engineering department, it's not such a big deal time wise. It's the
singleton/ma-pa/small/hyper-spread operations which are going to suffer
when their already overloaded contract guy can't get to all the far flung
clients/sites for a couple weeks..or more....unless the box has a pinhole
to the outside world. Few do...
