My cable company just shut down Bally Sports. Anyone else?

My dad and I were watching the game on Bally Sports tonight in the bottom of the eighth, just as Rengifo's single was hitting the bag when the screen goes blank, and then the message shown below shows up. It happened as the clock struck 9 p.m. (which is, I now realize, midnight in Philadelphia, where Comcast is based). Did this happen to anybody else watching the game? I have Xfinity and live in Lompoc. (And, yes, I know, they spared me from watching the top of the ninth).

Yeah, unfortunately for you, it's due to a failure of Comcast and Diamond Sports/Bally Sports to come to an agreement on a new carriage deal. This could go on for a while.

It’s just a hydration issue.  Day to day.
