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.
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 game was good this year!
It left the Patriots with a deflated feeling though.
The shepherds did so well protecting the flock that the sheep no longer believed that wolves existed.
Trump ran a 30 second commercial for all the positive things he has accomplished in his first year as POTUS.
