Unfortunately while we were watching the PPV broadcast on Verizon FIOS, the show was interrupted 4 times, the last of which lasted almost 40 minutes. The first three were short screen time outs with a banner and exclamation point graphic on the screen informing us that we only had a number of minuts left to purchase the show. The last outage started during "Happy" and the broadcast didn't return until the of "YCAGWYW." Suffice to say, we are not amused.

We called Verizon during the last long outage and were on hold forever and transferred twice. Verizon's customer service is pathetic at best. We were first told by a rep that they couldn't even confirm we purchased the concert, which we obviously replied with then why are we calling? If it didn't cost us any money and we couldn't see it then why would we care? Then they asked us to do the old unplug the box routine. Welcome to 1994.

Verizon is a joke; they ruined our night and party for myself, our family, and friends, and I missed a great show by the Stones. How hard is it to run a wire into the stadium and connect it to a camera? We paid for a live concert and didn't get it and there will be no way in hell I pay for that when the bill comes. BTW, we are located just 20 minutes south of Boston, MA, USA.

Sorry for the rant. God Bless the Rolling Stones. Congratulations on 50 years!

We were at the show on Thursday at the Prudential Center. We also got the PPV last night and recorded it - watched it much later last night and thought it was great. Going to watch it again - can't get enough Stones. Must admit that Lady Gaga's performance of Gimme Shelter felt a bit circus-y - especially after seeing Lisa Fischer on Thursday. I really liked Florence Welch's performance. Lady Gaga is all about kitsch and she definitely brought that last night.

Stones have been so awesome this tour! I definitely want more - and more with Mick Taylor - loved him so much on MR.

I had a similar problem with Time Warner. I hit the "Buy" button, it seemed to confirm the purchase, then the screen froze and I got a message saying "On Demand is not available at this time. Please try again later". I've learned from past experience that the way to fix this is not to "try again later" but to do what you did - reboot the box. When it finally came back on, the purchase was no longer there so I had to press the blue "Purchase" button again. Not sure if I'm going to be double-billed but no way I'll pay twice. It was aggravating, to say the least.

I watched on Yahoo myself. Great quality, didn't expect that. I had 2-3 very short dropouts but image and sound resumed after a couple seconds. Once about halfway through I was somehow logged out of Yahoo and had to log in again to resume watching. Still, quality was amazing on my 120" screen through a projector. Really good value even though it's a bit weird to follow a concert from a recliner - well, at least my feet didn't hurt like after the Brooklyn show!

Sorry bit misleading. Not my tivo, I have a separate DVR so I just set the gig playing and pressed record. Picture quality on DVD is OK and the sound is pretty good.

Gutted for you man. I thought that my provider was spiking the signal with DRM throughout to stop recordings, had my first attempt fail.

But managed to record it onto the DVR just transferring now, should be done in a few hours

I used Yahoo in New Zealand, ran it thru a laptop on to a large flat screen and was stunned at the clarity. Only had one balckout of maybe 3 seconds, so minor not even sure where it was. Rceorded it all with Debut Video software, a very handy downlaodable program. So ow the whole thing is stored in HD on a hard drive, 2 GB. Well worth the $21 I paid.

I was really surprised. I watched via Yahoo and watched on TV (with Apple TV) and the quality was excellent.
