Title: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: NYCTWCjunkie on August 03, 2007, 02:07:38 PM: Since The Weather Channel has decided to run their original introduction to the Local on the 8s from when they launched the new logo last year, how long will it be until they decide to unveil an intro for TWC HD? This is mainly to ask your prediction on when you think this will happen.

If I had to guess, perhaps about a month from right now.

Post by: G2003 on August 05, 2007, 02:59:29 PM: I hope Comcast will carry HD TWC. i can't imagine them NOT having it, seeing as they have every other useless channel.
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: lfmusiclover on August 05, 2007, 03:02:00 PM: You can definitley count on Comcast carrying it. 8)

Post by: chris9277 on August 05, 2007, 03:43:46 PM: I might i might not get TWC HD. All what Comcast chooses to do with my service.
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: lfmusiclover on August 05, 2007, 03:56:15 PM: Who knows? I do. Yep, as unbelievable as it may be to you Gil, someone knows something that you don't. Amazing, ain't it?

What's the problem Kyle?

Post by: wxmancanada on August 05, 2007, 04:04:48 PM: The: "Trust me. That info came from an insider (me)." Whats this refering to?
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: lfmusiclover on August 05, 2007, 04:06:58 PM: I've mentioned it a few times, but I guess I'll have to repeat it again. My dad works for Comcast here in Baltimore, so I have access to alot of insider information regarding programming.
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: G2003 on August 05, 2007, 04:37:41 PM: But like you said, all headends are different. Or maybe I said that. I can't remember.
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: lfmusiclover on August 05, 2007, 04:39:22 PM: When it comes to adding new channels they all run on about the same schedule. 8)
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: G2003 on August 05, 2007, 04:40:11 PM: You sure? Its like with the IntelliSTAR. Not all of them got it at the same time.
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: lfmusiclover on August 05, 2007, 04:40:39 PM: They weren't adding a channel. They were adding a new piece of hardware. Very different.
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: lfmusiclover on August 05, 2007, 04:51:17 PM: You know what, on second thought I don't care what your problem is.

For those who are interested, Comcast will carry TWC HD. For those who are not, and for Gil, take it or leave it.

Very interesting, how ever on a personal note its old news to me.

I think some people around here need to take a break, go swimming, have a smoke what ever floats your boat.. Things are really boiling here and its starting to make it an undesirable place.
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: lfmusiclover on August 05, 2007, 05:00:30 PM: Gil's about to get a permanent break, os I wouldn't worry much. 8)

I'm glad your so in the know.
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: chris9277 on August 05, 2007, 10:04:26 PM: I might get the new STAR then if comcast is getting it. But i dont have Comcast HD. I dunno.
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: G2003 on August 05, 2007, 10:06:43 PM: Im kind of anxious to see what the new STAR is like. Satellite viewers are supposed to get a "regional local".
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: chris9277 on August 05, 2007, 10:16:25 PM: Same here Gil.
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: lfmusiclover on August 05, 2007, 10:55:42 PM: I'm interested in seeing it too, though I doubt I ever will because I currently have no intention of getting an HD box. :no:

Yep. And hopefully they will contribute them to the site. :)
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: lfmusiclover on August 06, 2007, 12:04:14 AM: Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. Though I have to admit, getting people to contribute anything so far has been resemblant of pulling teeth. Granted, there are several folks here who are regular contributor, and for that I am appreciative. There are also a few folks here who contributed all that they have, and I am appreciative of them as well. But there are others here, at TWC Classics, and at YouTube who have very interesting videos, but either don't know about this site, or haven't contributed yet. There was one person who is a regular poster here who had videos up on Youtube, but never offered to give them to me. I had to ask him if it was ok to put them on my site.

Post by: G2003 on August 06, 2007, 01:27:58 AM: I wonder how i will capture the HD STAR :huh:
Title: Re: When do you think TWC will begin promotion their HD channel?
Post by: wxmancanada on August 06, 2007, 01:31:07 AM: As long as your HD box has a RCA out plug on it you cap card should be able to capture it..
