The other day, during the semifinals between Italy and England, during the half time there was an error message popping up on my TV screen. There was a complete loss of picture but there was audio. I started panicking and did not know what to do, so I called the tech support for my cable TV service provider and they were able to fix the issue with my TV, over the phone. I got to watch the whole match after the issue got resolved.
