i had no idea about this until a couple hours ago, but according to somebody who works in Greenville, NC sports radio (when they were on the Packman show at about 3pm today), the Fox affiliate in eastern NC apparently had a ton of problems with their feed and they missed parts of the game, had parts frozen / still pictures on the screen, missed the kickoff, halftime show, etc...apparently this fox affiliate has been shitty for quite some time as well and this isnt the first instance...also aside from all the media ripping them today, some bars want to file lawsuits as i guess they anticipated one of their biggest nights of the year, and i guess lots of people left when their feed didnt show the game

anyway just FYI but didnt know if anybody else had heard about this, or if anybody was actually in the eastern part of the state and experienced this themselves

heres something about it http://carolinaregion.blogspot.com/2008/02/superbowl-42-thanks-fox-network-you.html

i was just told about this about 30 minutes ago buy a friend who lives in greenville. She says alot of the bars down there are trying to figure out how to sue the fox affiliate for lost customers (which is stupid imo)
