Imagine you had a big Super Bowl party and your TV just blacked out.
Crazy right?
But, it happened in LA.
One day after Time Warner Cable customers spent more than an hour of the Super Bowl staring at a black screen, the company apologized and announced it would offer all subscribers a gift card or credit whether or not they were affected in the outage.
As the Seattle Seahawks met the Denver Broncos on the field for Super Bowl Sunday, TWC announced via Twitter about 4:45 p.m. it was having problems with its feed from Fox, among other Southern California channels.
For all your pain and suffering TWC is giving you a $5 credit.
