The question is: Is it weather or not ??

Hmm.. so she's done some acting before.  And she's very young, too. I thought she was a lot older.

Local Forecast / Re: When Would You Like The TWC Holiday Playlist To Start?

« on: August 19, 2010, 03:17:04 PM »

I think December 25 is too early for the holiday playlist to end. I think it should end December 31. In addition, January is too late for the playlist to end.

...but Christmas would be over by then.  December 26th is ok.

I think this should be moved to the Local Forecast board since it has to do with TWC music. 

But anyways, around mid December (12/13 or so) is when the playlist should start.

Maybe Martin can confirm if Storm Alert is indeed gone. The last time they went into Storm Alert was September 2008.

I haven't heard that its gone. I just think we haven't seen anything major enough to get the studio lights to red and the lf music going.

Remember that 2009 wasn't as active as predicted.

the graphics are red for breaking news and continuing coverage i would say if storm alert does still exist they will change the name from continuing coverage to Storm Alert at the banner insted of breaking news/continuing coverage and the red studio lights like for Gustav/Ike so we will have to wait and see i messaged some of the people at twc and some said Storm Alert was going to happen and some said weather or not we are in storm alert the coverage will be the same wall to wall for land falls we might find out in a week or 2 like i said

......then we shall find out whenever a major hurricane makes landfall somewhere. I'd say it's too soon to tell.

So I started school today.. Looks like yet another crappy and lonely year again.. I always wonder how and why my schedules are always made to where I'm never with my friends.    

Do you think it's possible that you could get it changed with your counselor? I think you may need an excellent reason.

I do agree, they're just curious about it.

Also... wtf @ today's top 4. I literally laughed at #4 ...which is about Chinchilla poop.

General Discussion / Re: Dish Network: I *may* get it...

« on: August 17, 2010, 02:14:10 PM »

My friends also tell me that Dish is really bad in terms of service. But the only good thing is that you do get the local channels included. When we first got DirecTV, they did NOT include the local channels. So the only way to watch the local news here is to switch signals. Having one of my uncles switch to the Riverside DirecTV feed was a good idea, because I can watch my old LA affiliates. Still, I'd be satisfied if my local channels (the ones from Yuma and EC) were on DirecTV.

In terms of billing, looking at my previous bill, looks like we're paying for the receivers. Three of which are brand new and one is really, really old (not sure if we're still paying for that one).

General Discussion / Re: Anyone have Sirius/XM radio?

« on: August 17, 2010, 11:51:50 AM »

Its unfortunate that Directv ditched XM last year :thumbsdown:

I want my XM radio back on DirecTV! I miss listening to the Morning Mash-Up every morning on XM 20 on 20. But oh well, it is what it is. If all is possible I'd so get XM. Radio stations here are so crappy, and satellite radio is among very popular in my area.

AMAZING segment debut just now on Weather Center. If you missed it, don't worry, you can catch them on 8:40, and 9:40 eastern.

The lower 3rds with the lightning animation are so pretty.
