Hulu, NBC Experience Glitches During Super Bowl Telecast (theverge.com)
Variety reports:
NBC's coverage of Super Bowl LII briefly went dark for nearly 30 seconds on Sunday night. NBC released a brief statement attributing the outage to an equipment failure... "We had a brief equipment failure that we quickly resolved," the statement read. "No game action or commercial time were missed." The outage happened during a commercial pause in the action between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles.
And anonymous reader shared another story from The Verge: Hulu's live TV subscription service cut off the end of tonight's Super Bowl in some markets during the climactic final moments of the Eagles/Patriots game. Tom Brady was making a last-ditch push down the field in hopes of tying the 41-33 contest when Hulu customers lost all video and audio from NBC and U.S. Bank Stadium. Not everyone experienced the abrupt cutoff, which occurred at approximately 10:00PM ET. But those who did received an error screen before the game's conclusion. Error messages ranged from "no content available" to one that said the game couldn't be shown due to rights restrictions. Complaints immediately surged on Twitter and Reddit... In a tweet, the company said there had been "a technical issue" and said users could restart their Hulu app to restore the game feed.

It was a nice reprieve from what was otherwise a pretty underwhelming set of commercials this Super Bowl.
the game was good this year!
Does it ever get tiring thinking up ways to shoehorn your Trump-hate into literally everything that ever happens in the world, or as a symptom of your pathological obsession is it a purely subconscious act that requires no noticeable effort on your part?
Black screen buffering... death happen every half an hour even without Superbowl. Then in the middle of the game, NBC Roku app told me to install NBS Sports, which took time away from interesting moments and showed the rest of the game in blurry resolution AND with more buffering deaths. I don't understand why NFL can't find a more reliable streaming partner for Superbowl. ABC does not seem to have any of these problems.
The what?
I should use this sig to advertise my book ISBN-13 : 978-1501515132.

I know, it's tiring. Samo with the old Obama hate, I couldn't figure out why any and every topic would be politicized, before that it was Bush hate...etc.
It appears that hate is recursive.
His ignorance covered the whole earth like a blanket, and there was hardly a hole in it anywhere. - Mark Twain
There was no etc. Bu$hitler was the first president people reacted to in such an infantile, spittle flecked way. Obama was greatly disliked (he had his photo taken with Jew hater Louis Farrakhan so no wonder people didn't like him) but it simply did not rise to the level of Chimpy McBu$hitler and Donald "literally Hitler" Trump. There's no equivalence.
Shutting down free speech with violence isn't fighting fascism. It IS fascism!
This is wrong by any measure. Trump's approval ratings are competitive with Ford's, but (since we're talking about hate here) Trump's disapproval ratings are the highest ever measured at this point in his presidency. Though Bush 2 peaked quite a bit higher. Here.
That's only since we've been measuring approval/disapproval ratings though. Speculation is that Lincoln was really the most hated president, which makes sense if you think about it.
The hatred directed at Trump should surprise no one, he's basically a political shock jock. He got all of that publicity during the election by saying one outrageous thing after another - hate is what he runs on.
Trump ran a 30 second commercial for all the positive things he has accomplished in his first year as POTUS.
Who's talking about approval ratings? Nobody before you brought it up. I'm talking about educated, erudite people with advanced degrees from our best institutions absolutely losing it. Shrieking, gnashing of teeth, tearing of hair and rending of garments, in full public view. All because they don't like the President. Remember that lady that called a 10 year old boy "America's next school shooter" or the other one that had photos of herself taken carrying his severed head as if she had just joined ISIS? This has nothing to do with approval ratings and everything to do with extreme, over-the-top reactions by people whose education level and high level of rationality makes them incapable of doing so.

glitch? or subtle 'warning' to potential cord-cutters that cable service is 'more reliable' than that nasty old internet? /tin-foil hat
Subtle warning? Rather ironic when you can buy a $10 antenna to watch this free OTA broadcast, bypassing both cable and internet...
Glitch occurred over the air as well. It wasn't static or loss of transmission, it was transmission of a black picture and no audio - even in the OTA broadcast. It appeared that someone / something forgot to insert a commercial. Probably a 5 million dollar mistake.
