Serious question, did anyone else's cable box just randomly reset during the Super Bowl in 2003?
My family had one of those old Motorola boxes from Comcast and it crapped out right as the game was tied with 2 minutes left. We missed the final drive, what did you all do when your equipment gave out during a big moment?

Man that Motorola box dying on you during the Super Bowl must have been brutal.

Oh man, tell me about it! Did yours die on you too, or did you have a different brand that handled the big moment better? We had the Comcast Motorola box and it would overheat if you looked at it wrong. I remember my dad smacking it on the side hoping it would come back, but we ended up watching the last drive on a tiny 13 inch CRT TV in the basement. That was the worst part, we had a 36 inch Toshiba in the living room but it only worked through the cable box. So we missed the whole Hines Ward touchdown pass from Brad Johnson on the little grainy screen with rabbit ears.
