The daytime playlist better be good.. I hate the morning playlist so far, especially Anthem of Hope. Enough with RF's Bloom album, I want his classic stuff back!

Well all I can say is we got lucky somehow. Apparently what the woman behind the counter at the Comcast office had told me is wrong... the DTA can tune to channel 99 (CBC).

Yeah, I get plenty of channels beyond channel 65 with the DTAs at my dad's house. Still wish we had Weatherscan on it. It's still on analog channel 120 (likely serving as a test channel) along with the ~25 local channels.

The Richmond and Norfolk IntelliSTARs both have the same exact regional map so I can assure you that regional maps are to an extent that they are the same throughout pretty much the entire portion of that state (ex. Norther/Southern Florida and Eastern/Western Virginia).

He was asking about the rad/sat though, which I think can be STAR specific (but usually regional).

Seen any Verizon trucks in the area recently? Could be Verizon wiring for FiOS.

The trucks don't have a Verizon logo on them, but before installation they had orange markings on the grass with little orange Verizon flags on the ground.

One of my teachers who lives down at Atco, NJ told me her area is in the process of going digital, so I won't be surprised if it happens here in the coming weeks. The transition has already been completed in southeast PA last November.

Speaking of cable, I noticed in the past month or so that these thick cables that are orange and black in color are being placed underground along the outside of my subdivision. Are these fiber-optic cables?

That's because the national LDL is no longer cued by a STAR, but by the control room. As such, it's glued to the screen and will show on the weather.com segments.

Clear your browser or try a different browser.

How would I clear my browser?

Clear your private data I think he's saying.

« on: June 15, 2010, 03:59:19 PM »

I'm not surprised about this. Ever since the oil spill started, TWC's been covering it. Everytime I tune in to TWC all they talk about is the oil spill.

Then why do you still watch TWC?

Apparently, wikipedia is "not a collection of links". One of the users added "&feature=channel" back into one of the video links for an XL in the database (which I edited out to make the links uniform), and told me that wikipedia is not "a collection of links" on my talk page.

All of those links are bad in terms of bandwidth - that's probably why they don't want too many of them.
