DIRECTV suffered a massive outage during the Super Bowl, affecting its 4K feed for over an hour, with no resolution in sight. The outage seems to be limited to the 4K feed of the Super Bowl, and the company is working to resolve the issue. This comes after a recent deal to restore Cox-owned local ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC locals just in time for the Super Bowl, ending an 8-day standoff that resulted in 12 local TV stations going dark on DIRECTV-owned services.
