Regarding TWC lHDl i asked comcast
Quote
Alex: So I would still have to wait until June 12th to get TWC HD?

Brian (Comcast Rep) For the complete Digital change over you would. But at the moment there is no word on a date for the Weather Channel in HD

Alex: are there still negotiations for TWC HD because I was told in December it would be in Fall River by January?

Brian (Comcast Rep) I can check on that. One moment please

I apologize, there is no mention of negotiations yet. But seeing as how it is only available in the Boston/Brookline are, due to being all Digital, then in June that may be when it opens up in HD.


Looks like I got to wait until the 2 year anniversary of TWC lHDl until I get it  :censored: :furious:

Well, it actually depends... the HD simulcast was launched October 2007, but the newscasts went HD on June 2, 2008... so it could very well be October 2009 when he sees it... Not to sound cocky or anything, but wanted to mention this, lol

Update on the progress

Quote
Alexander - oh my parents wanted to see Storm Stories In HD on Feb. 22nd

Daniel- Once all of the changes are made, channels like the Weather Channel will be offered in HD.  That is one of the additional HD channels we will be offering

Alexander- so it depends on the local channels switching from Analog to Digital on Feb 17th anyway in MA and RI in order to view The Weather Channel in HD?

Daniel - No, it will depend on our separate project of moving chanels 23 and above over to Digital.  That change will allow us to add additional Digital and HD channels.  We do not have a time frame on that currently but we will be notifying all of our customers as the specific date and time approaches

Alexander -oh ok thank you for clearing that up Daniel, i hate to speculate but in your opinion is Feb 17th a possibility to switch those channels to digital here in Fall River,MA?

Daniel - No, the project is beginning in March and will be ongoing over the next year or so as we will be making the change town by town.

so everyone cross your fingers :D

Quick question... Any particular reason why Weather Center was in the HD studio on 8/5, yet they were back in the SD studio a day later, then went fully HD the following week on the 13th? That always confused me and I wonder if anyone knew why...

For the 8/5:

Honestly, that request is no different than you emailing the cable co directly and asking them for it (and we all know how that goes). :wacko:

So I'm watching Weather Center earlier and Mike Seidel was using the chroma key wall, and I have video...

And now Steph is using the video wall with the cam zoomed in to make it full screen...

weird,
