I described that above. I just added bolding and "Not" in front of Pandora" to make that clearer :-).

No. It kept going for a while. It must buffer or something. Then it stopped.
I learned this yesterday because a Spectrum (former Time Warner) technician was at my house for 2 hours. He disconnected the internet coax. Pandora played on for a while.



I agree with you there should be a simple answer though. But I haven't thought of one yet!
