Current TWC issues
« on: October 14, 2008, 12:45:31 AM »
Since last week, I've noticed that the IntelliStar in my area is cued 1 second late, the narration/voice-over is loud and the music is quieter (like at a CD quality mode).

MikeM2010, Victor (Slingbox), Tyler, Chris, and Matt also noticed it.

I'm guessing this has to do with the recent sun outage last week.

I doubt it is related to the sun outage problem. The problem is national, so it is most likely something messed up at TWC network control.

I seem to recall a similar sound issue almost exactly a year ago. Watch any intellistar video from mid-October to early November 2007, and you'll see what I mean.

Well, at least I don't have the real IntelliSTAR, but 24131 is technically an IntelliSTAR.

"At least" doesn't really make sense in that context. Try something like "It may not be a normal IntelliSTAR..."

I noticed issues with intellistar last night as well, and I still am. I didn't know it could have been national, I thought it was just with my headend.


Notice in the video above, at 2:40, the Home Depot commercial says "Home Depot would like to give you a little present" before the narrated text about the snow comes on! :P

Also here is another problem I have been noticing, which has only happened tonight, since about 4:30 PM EST


This must have only been with my headend.

That's your cable box / the headends modulation of the channel, its not TWC or your IS. If you have a STB check the cabling going from the box to the wall. This happens to me when I knock the jack loose.

And if its not your STB, I would guess that it's the CC headend havin some problems
