THIS BLOWS!!!!! Watching on DirecTV from a San Francisco local CBS feed, the program went blank right after Julie sat down on the couch with the envelope. The message on the screen was a DirecTV "we're having technical difficulties, sorry for any inconvenience." Do you believe it!?!?!?!?! I had to hit the web to see who won. This is like missing the end of the Superbowl when the score is tied.

DirecTV claims it was a local feed problem. Anyone out there in the bay area see the ending? Is there any chance there's a saved Real Video file that I can get? Thanks

We've got DirecTV and we got both east and west feeds just fine... full telecasts. Bummer for you, though; it's time to b*tch at your local station.
Hopefully, someone will come to the rescue with a recording. Sorry, I can't help you there. :(

It wasn't the station - I was watching KPIX (in the East Bay) through AT&T cable, and we saw the whole thing.

What a bummer for you. I nearly got hysterical earlier this week when some sort of audio disturbance blocked about a minute of the "who everyone nominated" discussion. This is so much worse.
