Wednesday night I started watching On the Town (1949) on my dvr. I had recorded it from public television months ago. About an hour into it I got the loud noise of testing of emergency broadcast system with orange band across the top of the screen. Had to turn it off and turn on my streaming from Fire TV Cube.
I started watching White Christmas (have watched many times over the years) and after a half hour or so decided I didn't want to keep watching right now (although it is going off of Netflix after the 31st). I watched The Bishop's Wife on Prime. After the was over I went back to White Christmas and later realized I still had another hour left and I went to bed.
I finished watching On the Town Thursday evening. Had to reboot the cable box first, because the emergency testing the night before messed it up, no picture or sound. After a few minutes, it froze (from the test), so I had to turn it off and then on and fast forward past that spot.
