Not surprised. Can you get some clips?
I tried, my TV Tuner doesn't work for the downstairs box

I know, I'm really PISSED. :angry: I restarted WinTV, cable box, and laptop nearly a dozen times and all I get is a blank screen on Ch3/4. It wasn't like that before. It probably doesnt work b/c it's a HDTV the box was hooked up to. I connected the cable back to the TV though and video appeared there but not on the tuner.  :wacko:

Sounds like a very strange situation!

The actual HD STAR will be pretty different. This "beta" HD STAR was more to test out the equipment, with less of a focus on the graphics themselves.

Yeah, it's been quite awhile that the 'beta' STAR is still in use.

I'm really excited that some (albeit little) progress has been made on getting the HDLF working properly.  Watching TWC HD just isn't the same without the local information...gets kinda boring, personally.  Has anyone been able to capture any new video of the beta versions?

HD STAR, which was recently due out this November, has been pushed back (yet again). No new time line at this point

This certainly doesn't seem to be on TWC's priority list right now. :no: I'm hoping they will not cancel the HD Star debut altogether. :(

Fantastic...guess I'll have to watch TWC SD for local information instead...screw that, I'll just flip on my emulator and see something actually interesting!

I don't think they'd cancel it, the STAR is TWC's bread and butter.
