I heard that too. I wonder if Adam knows about all of us out here...

They just now played the old stream station ID. That's not HD is it? I wouldn't think it would be; it's at least two plus years old now.

It actually is now. ^_^

By the way, the feed just went out again like last night, this time with violent flickering of the image until it finally went black. The SD channel is fine, though.

EDIT: It just came back now; prior to that, even the audio took a dive again; only every tenth or so word could be heard, and even that was garbled. Judging by the behavior of my satellite receiver, I'd say it's a DirecTV issue rather than a TWC issue.

For the first time since the relaunch, "It's time to check in with Mike Bettes to find out what's coming up next on Abrams & Bettes"

The PME 3-person shot is really cool. Yes, it's recorded...video later.

Titan seems to get stuck like that a lot, mainly on the old WPS-type maps.

Oh, on another note, it looks like there's more than one station ID now; they used a different lake scene this morning.

We're back to the key walls for PME again today.

Are you sure? It looked like Sam was at the video wall, just they had the camera zoomed in way too far.

You're right; they had it zoomed in so far that you couldn't even see the wall's borders on the HD feed. That looked horrible in SD!

That was the problem? I never thought it would be so simple. =O

"Yes" to the first question, "probably" to the second.

Just when you thought they couldn't do any more, they just played the whole theme once and a half! I don't get it; it's not like Marshall and Bill had to move from their original positions at all.

They're still doing the thing with the lower thirds during YWT, perhaps we should try to nip this in the bud through the Assistance Request form before this gets any worse. I should add that it's blocking the southern half of Texas but not Florida as I mistakenly said earlier.
