I've been seeing a lot of cars with Florida tags here the last few months.

Hate to break it to you, but them rebranding to Xfinity has nothing to do with your DTAs not working.

I know it's to compete with other companies... but the name certainly doesn't describe how they are really like.

Comcast made themselves look worse with the "Xfinity" branding. Every week I have some kind of issues with their crappy DTAs that still don't get all the channels I once had with analog (i.e. Weatherscan, truTV). They really should ditch the DTAs and go back to analog. Sure it uses more bandwidth, but who cares, it's a lot more simple and convenient. At least analog cable doesn't frequently pixelate or have its weekly "service unavailable" crap. And please, ADD MORE CHANNELS TO QAM! 

The people I talk to over the phone seem to have no idea what I'm saying to them either when I ask them about QAM or their crappy DTAs.

Complaints? Surprised they even took action with a request like that

It obviously depends on who complains about it... they don't listen to FB/Twitter complaints but moreso on what they receive over the phone.

Noticed the text was enlarged today, although the icons could still be a little more larger. No changes made yet to the sex music segments.

Congrats on 25 years Jim! This year also marks 25 years since Jeff Morrow joined.

If they preempt programming, they're expecting ratings/viewership to go up from this coverage, so they can rack up the $$.

Money money money.... it's all TV networks care about these days

@ 10:32AM on WUWA they used TITAN for radar? The lighting around the greenscreen looked different too. I guess they we're working in the HD studio.

Did it use the old 2010 titlebars?

It is? It doesn't sound like one at all, or maybe I just really don't know my holiday music...lol. I actually thought it was one of the only songs that wasn't Christmas-ish on the list. Nevertheless, I like it anyway, ha ha.

I like it too, and it doesn't sound like a Christmas song to me either.

I'm back from my vacation!  Despite the numerous showers and thunderstorms throughout most of the week, I was able to climb to the top of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse and also visit the Biltmore house and estate.  Hope everyone is doing well.

Oooh, the view's nice up that lighthouse! I remember going up there back in 2003. Glad you had a great time
