No TV Service in Res Halls Friday

The Dominican community received an email (5:33 PM Tuesday) from Jill Albin-Hill from IT to notify everyone that there will be network outages this Friday due to there being no classes that day. Therefore, perfect time to perform needed system maintenance. What surprised me a bit was that television service would be down in the residence halls.

Here is that portion of the email:
In addition, our TV service provider, will be working to relocate the entire system on the Main Campus to the IT Server Room. This will result in NO TELEVISION service for the Residence Halls and possible intermittent outages for the TV’s in the Library.

Now, I don't mind that TV service will be down - I don't have many "Must See" shows on my TV-watching list and none are on Friday. But I wonder how long the TV service will be down because it doesn't say so...all of Friday or just a part of the day? The network outages will occur in the morning according to the email.

From the email:
7:00 AM – 8:00 AM: Email
7:30 AM – 8:30 AM: Intermittent short network outages (1 minute or less per server) for all applications and network storage locations
8:30 AM – 9:00 AM: myDU
