Nice Move Direct TV

Target World Invitational "temporarily unavailable"

It's incredible.....here I sit with 14 inches of frickin' snow and all I wanted to do, after shoveling my Word not allowed off all morning, is watch a little golf. I turn on the ol' large screen and tune into a little NBC on Direct TV and BLAM the picture goes out less than 1/2 hour into the telecast. Now, forty minutes later, it's STILL out. This is equivalent to the networks covering the final 7+ minutes of a blow out football or basketball game which pre-emps the golf broadcast only to watch the network go off the air at the end of the golf's scheduled broadcast timeframe with the leaders having 2 holes to play and we're left holding our d!ck$. What gives with that? We can finish out watching a blowout with two teams most of us could care less about but can't stay on the air to watch the end of the golf? While they are getting better with staying on the air, that's happened way to many times.

Rant over but this still sucks (even though we know the outcome)...now 45 minutes into it.

Not to rub it in, but sitting in a cold (but less-snowbound) England there are no problems with the picture on my TV....

It's almost here we have zero visibility right now, that coupled with the bills losing today in Cleveland makes a great day.
