Everything Else TWC / Whoa!

« on: August 25, 2008, 08:58:10 AM »

I turned on TWC just now, and I get only the Blue Bar. It's flashing/flickering in different colors, while the audio is just crackles.

Is this happening to anyone else? I think the IntelliStar is freakin out, it's displaying weird graphics.

TWC and your Cable Company / TWC HD in my area, but not

« on: August 19, 2008, 10:45:00 PM »

I've received word today that Comcast has added 15 new HD channels to the Chicago area.

But I just checked the lineup, and it's not there. Typical.

Local Forecast / Trammell time-ins?

« on: August 10, 2008, 04:00:58 PM »

Has anyone else noticed that not all of the Trammell songs on the backup list start right from the begining? I noticed this particularly on Midnight Rain and A New Day.

Does anyone know why they did this? Does anyone know the time-ins for the tracks?

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / Ooooh is this new??

When I get a PM, a red box shows at the top of the page saying I have a new message! Is this new?

I like it.

Programming / ETF?

« on: August 06, 2008, 11:09:01 AM »

I feel really stupid for asking this, but what is the Extended Travel Forecast?

I've seen videos. Was it in place of the Local On The 8's at certain times, or was it a standalone thing? Did it always use the same music as the LF playlist?

What the heck is it?

CD1:
2. Good Ole Days
3. Jumpin'
8. A New Day
12. Good Times
13. Care Free

3. Winter Tundra
4. Rainy Days
5. Midnight Cruise

8. (unsure, different name)
10. That Latin Beat

CD3:

General Discussion / New music gear

« on: July 18, 2008, 06:22:50 PM »

Interest level probably isn't high, but I thought I'd post some pics of my new music equipment.

Today, my M-Audio Axiom 61 keyboard controller (and cables) arrived.

Monday, I got the Roland JV-1080 synthesizer, from eBay, for $170. Pretty popular when it came out in 1994. Trammell used this synth pretty heavily on the Weather Channel set that we all know and love. When I opened up the expansion bay, there were $400 worth of rare expansions in it!

The Expansion boards in the JV-1080 are really kick-ass looking.

So yah, I'll be able to crank out some pretty bitchin music. I'm still waiting on my FireWire audio interface, and software.

P.S., new smilies?

TWC and your Cable Company / Comcast and TWC HD

Seriously, where is it? I thought they had a contract since last September, and they were going to be one of the first.

Typical Comcast BS.

Local Forecast / Multiple page Weather Bulletins

« on: June 09, 2008, 01:32:20 AM »

Has anyone had this happen, where the Weather Bulletin segment on the IS takes up 2 pages? I've just seen it. Just curious: when this occurs, how does it affect the lineup? Does another segment get taken out, or do all screens have a shorter duration?

Local Forecast / Umm...IS bug?

« on: June 04, 2008, 04:30:08 PM »

It's still showing the Weather Warning box during the LF for a Dense Fog Advisory that expired at 9 AM. What gives?

Local Forecast / After The Rain clip

« on: May 24, 2008, 01:56:14 PM »

Just wondering if anyone has the old clip of After The Rain by Trammell Starks. It used to be on TWC Classics, but was replaced by a much lower quality clip. If anyone has it, could you please post it here?

Thanks.
