"Mysterious" outage during the Obama show.
 

I set up the DVR to record the Obama show. Not that there was much of a chance that it would effect my vote one way or the other, but just out of pure curiosity. And also so I could fast forward through it should the need arise.

So I turn on the TV about 8:30PM Central to give it a view.

And it's not there.

So I go look at the timer history to see what's up.

It says that there was a "signal loss" from 7:01 to 7:24 :orly::confused:

It usually only wipes out an entire show if it is torrentialy raining the entire length of the show. But there was nothing but clear skies this evening.

Now, I do think some conspiracies exist, but I don't obsess about them (no newspaper clippings taped to the walls), and I don't seek them out.

But this struck me as a bit too "coincidental" to be random.

So I'm wondering if anyone else, that wanted to watch the Obama show, had any trouble viewing or recording it?

Saw it on satellite. High production values, low bang for my $.

i rather enjoyed the infomercial, but it's pretty much a heartstring thing, nothing new, but nothing grossly out of place.

Interesting. I had a strange power surge a couple of minutes into it and had to shut my TV and cable box to get it going again.

Maybe something like that happened?

Or maybe it's a conspiracy. :paranoid:

the production was decent.. but the message lacked that real final push to get the last of the unsure's to swing his way. The way I viewed it, it was just a long stump speech put to video.. and was intended to show the average american and hopefully connect that way.. I think it failed in that last regard though... I thought it was going to be more of an inspirational piece.. but again I feel it lacked. It wasn't bad.. it won't hurt him.. but I don't think it will help him either. :shrug:

as far as the power outage.. who knows.. the ALCS wasn't on for 2 innings a few weeks ago because a grid in Atlanta went down.. so.. it could have been anything. There are liberal plants working everywhere these days!

liberal plants?

I totally missed it due to work. :(

I missed it too. I was watching The Great Pumpkin.

Once I make my decision, all political hubris is tuned out.

I watched it, but I've been following the candidates so closely that none of the info was new. Plus, I voted early, so it's not like it would make a difference either way

I hard an issue where my antenna wasn't pointing the right direction. And my primary TV/Monitor died earlier that day. But I was able to watch it.

I thought it was pretty good. And it was a 100% positive message about Obama's plan an who he is as a father. He explained that problems exist and how he go about fixing them. McCain has a plan, I've read it, but 99% of the ads for him are attacking Obama and negative. If McCain doesn't talk about what he is going to do in the next four years, it will be a simple choice to make next week.

Mmmmm liberal plants........

I guess it wasn't a worldwide conspiracy then. Just little gremlins on my roof dressed in white tuxedoes that killed Obama for a half an hour. :D

I was disappointed that it wasn't in HD. Or was it in HD and I just didn't have it on the right channel?

It's available on YouTube.
