Whoa!
« on: August 25, 2008, 08:58:10 AM »
I turned on TWC just now, and I get only the Blue Bar. It's flashing/flickering in different colors, while the audio is just crackles.

Is this happening to anyone else? I think the IntelliStar is freakin out, it's displaying weird graphics.

Local on the 8's now. It's flickering in RED colors. The narration is repeating itself OVER and OVER again.


EDIT: The IS is definitely freakin' out. I popped in a VHS tape, so I'll be posting some videos.

I recorded it, but it will be a while before i transfer it to my computer. I haven't used my TV tuner in a really long time.

As of 8:28, It's back.

I'm guessing that my IS was either updated, or rebooted. :yes:

Why do you have to transfer it to your computer? Isn't the tuner IN the computer?  :unsure:

Further, why is it going to take awhile?  :unsure:


Not trying to be smart or anything either, by the way.

It's on a VHS tape, so he has to transfer it from VHS to his computer.

I havent used my TV Tuner in years. No it's not in my computer, it's a USB.

And now, the tape got stuck in the crappy VCR. So, it will be even longer.

Just my luck. <_<

Well, the cassette is still stuck in the VCR, and I really don't want to risk losing the recording. Hopefully I can get it out with minimal video loss.

But yes, I will get them up ASAP. :yes:
