I've never seen the HD Satellite in person. My dad doesn't mind getting me TWC HD but we need extra money for it.

For the past few days, my tuner has been producing extremely dark videos. I didn't touch the brightness or contrast settings, so that isn't the problem. Just take a look at this video: http://files.filefront.com/Intellistar117wmv/;10829742;/fileinfo.html

Does anyone know how I could fix this?

Maybe something changed at the cable company. Does it look darker on a normal TV?

It's definently the tuner. Everything looks perfectly normal on the TV.

Isn't your tuner normally like this? The WinTV HVR 950 has a really bright quality. It's actually so bright on my system that I use the "brightness decrease" option in Movie Maker

Derek, try using the Brightness Increase option when importing the video in Movie Maker. It helps

We've just got DirecTV SD satellite here. Not that I didn't expect it, though.

No, it's not normally like that. :no: I've never had to use the brightness increase option before when I processed my videos.

Speaking of vacations, I plan on going to Colorado again at the end of July. I'm supposed to help my dad move back to California, and we plan on driving and stopping at several hotels along the way. I'm hoping that at least ONE of them will have an older STAR. Oh, and I'll also be going to Portland, OR soon, and I'll be sure to capture their intellistar too.
Even if they have the IntelliStar in those hotels, try to get clips. :)

Oh yes, I plan on capturing the STARs at all the hotels, even if it's satellite or intellistar. I'm hoping to capture them with my tuner, but if the hotel has some kind of funky set up, I'll capture it with my camera.

So I have a little plan to some what improve the weather channel's article on wikipedia.

to possibly replace the "current programs" with the programs going in order from First Outlook - Evening Edition on weekdays and Weekend Outlook - Evening Edition on weekends, with their proper time slots, indication if they're in HD or not and with their current hosts.

all within a table - like below (this hasn't been saved - i use the "show preview option)

my question - good idea/bad idea?

I'm aware there is an OCM Section just below that, but I feel that it would be pretty awesome to indicate what OCM belongs to what show, you know?

your thoughts would be helpful on my decision to publish it or not. hahaha

i'm also aware some time slots are incorrect :P
