Yeah, my neighbors who have FiOS have been encouraged to invite their Comcast neighbors over for tonight's game. BTW, I can now get CBS over the air on my little TV and I can get Fox on it on the other side of the building. Surprisingly, I've heard no mention of the outage during local news coverage of the snow, which has preempted a lot of regular programming. I was able to watch CBS Sunday Morning, however, so I'm happy (even if McLaughlin Group got preempted).
