If so, attach your tuner to the "TO TV/VCR" port via coaxial cable.

Lately during the local ad inserts on TWC they've been showing promos for shows on National Geographic, and the commercial says National Geographic Channel is channel 109, but it's really on channel 77. :wacko:

I'm getting that same commercial. I think 109 is the channel that National Geographic is on here, though.

Because it's good cross-promotion. Viewers of TWC likely have interests in the same thing NatGeo viewers do... nature, wildlife, etc. Makes a lot of sense. :yes:

I've seen Weather Channel commercials on ESPN before.

In fact, I remember into the '06 year, they were showing ICHT and Hurricane '05 commercials.

Yep. I remember seeing Epic Conditions/Weather Ventures commercials on ESPN last summer.

Well folks, consider this a "preview" of a project still "in progress." :)
