General Discussion / TWC YouTube Stream

« on: July 11, 2008, 02:41:15 PM »

Hey everybody!

I just want to tell you all that I have created a YouTube Stream for TWC!  Anybody can upload a video to the stream!  Click the link below to visit the stream:

http://www.youtube.com/stream?u=Firestar120&i=0

If you don't know what a YT stream is, it's a whole bunch of videos put into a playlist.  There, you can add videos from you or other users, play only the videos you want to see, give videos a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down, and even chat with others in real time!

Local Forecast / Re: Local on the 8's HD

Yes!  We're only months away from seeing the HD LF in true HD, and [at least] I'm only months away from not having to switch to the SD channel to get an actual local forecast! 

Nobody is above the law except for Ronald McDonald, Barney, and maybe, just maybe, Brad Pitt.

General Discussion / Re: TWC-Like "LDL" Yearbook Design

« on: June 11, 2008, 09:51:57 PM »

Sorry, but,

Yea, I wasn't exactly sure about the design.  I just posted it to see what other people thought.  At first I thought it was a good idea, so I started creating it on PP, but as I created it I started to question it, so I wanted to see what some of you here thought about it. 

I see something that says ''ES'' @ the bottom. What's that?

I just opened it again and I can't see anything that says "ES."  What version of PowerPoint are you using?

Someone post a picture. I'm too lazy to download the .ppt

Okay, I'll get a picture uploaded soon.

General Discussion / TWC-Like "LDL" Yearbook Design

« on: June 11, 2008, 09:32:37 PM »

I was selected for the yearbook staff at my school next year.  As I was watching TWC on my SDTV, my eyes kept being drawn to the LDL.  I suddenly realized, "What if I made an LDL design in the yearbook?"  I decided to see what it would look like, so I made a rough "sketch" on MS PowerPoint.  This is what it looks like:

Local Forecast / Re: STAR Upgrading Question

I don't remember the details because I wasn't really watching TWC all that much in my younger days, but I do remember that I woke up on a Saturday, watched the Lot8s with the XL, went to the mall for about an hour and a half, ate lunch for about 45 minutes, went grocery shopping for another hour, and came home.  This was a span of about 3 hours and 45 minutes.  When I came home, I checked the LF again and the IS had replaced my XL.

Everything Else TWC / TWC HD Wikipedia Article: HD Schedule

« on: June 10, 2008, 05:31:57 PM »

Hey all,

I just added an HD slating schedule to the TWC|HD Wikipedia article.  If anybody knows when any other shows are slated to broadcast in HD, you can add to it by clicking the "edit" button.  So far what I have is:  YWT, EE, and WWCH currently in HD.  I have A&B and WV going HD by August.

Here's the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Weather_Channel_%28United_States%29#TWC_HD

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

Yea, I have to say that those are my favorite, too.  The tri-tone chime fits them really well, IMO.

I know that it's probably nothing big, but I wouldn't mind if they unstretched some of the content they show on the video wall.  I mean, it's not that bad, but I just think that it would make an already great product even better.  Just my two cents; I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining about it...
