Any livestreaming links for the SOTU?

Our cable has been out for the last 5 hours and is still out. The question of the hour, is will it be on for the SOTU tomorrow night? If it isn't, I'd appreciate any live streaming links anyone had.

Oh, and I now know I would not have made a good Arctic (or Antarctic) explorer. Been stuck home since Friday afternoon, shoveled snow for fun. I would not have made it in a boat frozen in the ice. I'm already near stark-ravin'.

on all of the above and MSNBC will have it. If you want to see it without commentary, C-SPAN is best and I suppose the whitehouse.gov site will be sans commentary too.

They usually do the call in show before and after.

It could be something simple, like the connection to your house being loosened...or it could be something bigger and further reaching.

Since the screen was showing a message "this channel will be back shortly" I figured it wasn't a loose connection, but good to check anyway. Supposed to be repaired by 5:30 PM.

"get a move on."

Be a kvetch, and call 'em back and demand a credit for the outage--tell them you want your bill pro-rated and you expect to see a reduction on your bill for service NOT provided.

I hold their feet to the fire! Someone needs to...!

It is back on now, and I did see someone out there working. But danged, if you are a minute late paying the bill, they are all over you so why not be a kvetch?

Millions of Americans will watch President Obama deliver his State of the Union address tomorrow night, and the folks who want to get the most out of the speech are watching on WhiteHouse.gov.

Our enhanced version has the graphics and charts you need to get the most out of President Obama's plan for 2014. That's why more than 1 million viewers watched our enhanced version last year -- and it's why so many folks have already signed up to watch this year.
