jtmalnet (12:31:08 AM): whoa
jtmalnet (12:31:49 AM): nickelodeon just scrolled a message saying that Time Warner Cable and Brighthouse Networks cable customers were going to lose Nickelodeon and 18 other Viacom networks on January 1st....

They're gonna lose CBS channels, Nickelodeon, TV Land, MTV, VH1, etc.... this is interesting how cable channel carriage agreements are coming about...

Comcast isn't affected?!

Yep. I guess Comcast isn't as bad as I thought now, but I am still trying to make the change to AT&T Digital Cable. I find this stupid that they would just drop 19 channels like that. I am never going to switch back to Time Warner!


get a grip...are you all even thinking about the other contributor to this problem?? (aka viacom) :rolleyes:

i'm just as fed up with it as anyone else, but time warner is not the only one to blame.

Sorry to say but screw Viacom. They're so strict about everything!

Ahhhh... this reminds me of the time that Viacom threatened to pull their stations from Comcast if Comcast didn't start carrying their Logo channel... Cracks me up, but I'm sure you all will be fine. An agreement will be eventually reached and everything will be fine.

Wow, Okay I need advice. So I took apart my old Performa for cleaning. The Power Supply had an INSANE amount of dust inside. I use one of those cans of compressed air, which I don't normally do. Long story short, some of the liquid inside the can got out through the tube and into the power supply. It's most definitely flammable. So what should I do to avoid my housing blowing up when I start my computer?

Came across this video... most of it is the theme used on EE's promos last summer, but a different cut.

The Viacom scroll never came on any of their channels on Buckeye Cablesystem.
Wish I had a WeatherSTAR 4000. Brings back memories.

No problem!  B) I actually discovered the name awhile back, but forgot to post it for y'all to see.

Wow, thanks! I figured it was just custom-made production music.

I figured that same thing too, until I heard it play on dozens of commercials and channels here, and even on my Jeff Dunham DVD. I then decided to do a bit of searching and sure enough, I came up with the song.

Yeah - I've heard this one quite a bit too. At least in 4 commercials.
