TV guide network is the same on cable in a sense as when i saw the channel on Bright house 2 weekends ago there were pillar bars (Directv doesnt get the grid guide)

Sorry if I am misunderstanding you, Zach, but I get a guide on DirecTV....

I like it! One suggestion: could you try to find a map that is rounded (like earth) and zoomed closer on the US? Other than that, it's great!

Am I the only one that has seen them using it to show the 33 miners on YWT? Everyone thinks it is broken, but they were using it this morning.

I recorded one of the "???-???-???" songs yesterday, and I am going to see, if for some reason, if it shows up on the Shazzam app.

EDIT: No results (not expecting there would be any!)
EDIT #2: Just noticed Felix's post. Sorry!

back from the dead...

It really is literaly, I saw an HD version of it today during storm stories . I wish I could show everyone but my mom took the camera and we dont have DVR. I know someone else had to see it besides me. Its still alive.

You can ask TJ1Snow himself, but I took that as "if anyone has the clip, post it"

I guess they are using the Chroma key to make it easier to see the weather on tv. It does help since the video wall isn't very bright anymore, not saying it ever was.
Between the video wall having a blue tint, having the brightness go funky live on air, having the video wall backlights get darker and darker, the video wall borders (all having died at some point in time), having the center panel die at one point, I could go on, I'm surprised they're still using it for weather presentations. Just my opinion.

However, I will admit. I'm glad they're being smart about it and windowboxing their graphics on the chromakey as most of their graphics are not 4:3 safe.

EDIT [9:14am]: it seems Kelly Cass has acknowledged it, and her vague wording makes me believe this seems to be a longer term solution, as the video wall is still being used for non-weather presenting... It's like a major news network! lol ... link to facebook post

I noticed her post, too. I like the chromakey better than the video wall. A lot easier to see the graphics, and some of the OCM's don't seem so small on the chroma /

I saw the video wall being used on WC last night, and they were showing an "Arizona Tornadoes" graphic, but the "na" at the end of "Arizona" and the "es" in "Tornadoes" was cut off.
