Just hope people would know what it stands for and wouldn't get it confused with Time Warner Cable or anything like that.
I think Time Warner Cable needs to change their name and initials. After all, I believe they stole those initials from The Weather Channel

Tracks 2, 4, 6, 10 and 17 on this mix have been played before 2008, so yes

General Discussion / My own Weather Channel mix CD
« on: April 19, 2012, 03:45:31 PM »
I have a hobby of making mix CDs of various things, whether it's made up of popular or unpopular music. Well, I recently made a mix of my favorite songs that have played on TWC, consisting of 18 tracks. Here is the list:
1. David Benoit- Botswana Bosa Nova
2. The Dream Academy- Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want
3. Sublime- What I Got [Instrumental Version]
4. Booker T and the MGs- Green Onions
5. Maserati- Monoliths
6. R.E.M.- Winged Mammal Theme
7. David Holmes- 11, 12 and 13
8. The Smiths- Oscillate Wildly
9. Pink Floyd- Terminal Frost
10. Norman Brown- After the Storm
11. Vincent Ingala- Lost in You
12. Herbie Hancock- Rockit
13. Ramsey Lewis Trio- The In Crowd
14. Eric Johnson- Cliffs of Dover
15. Herb Alpert- Route 101
16. Physical Therapy- Wishbone
17. Moby- God Moving Over the Face of the Waters
18. The Swing Cats featuring Johnny Ramone- Viva Las Vegas
What do you guys think?
Now, I cannot post any download links of this mix on this forum because it would be a violation of the rules. But, if anyone would like to give it a shot, you can gather the tracks from anywhere you can find, whether it's from the internet or from a CD, and create this mix CD for yourself.

Local Forecast / Re: Satellite LF Sightings
« on: April 18, 2012, 12:51:50 PM »At 3:28pm EDT on April 17, I observed this:
Looks like a full screen satellite LF but my head-end for some reason cued up an L bar forecast. But it gets stranger, as seen in this video:
https://picasaweb.google.com/108118189767835080687/DropBox#5732779342011796226
At :28, the satellite forecast compresses into the "viewing area" and an L bar satellite forecast appears and continues briefly into the intro to the 3:30 episode of Storm Riders.
The satellite LF uses different graphics now. The pic you took is the L-bar cuing over the emergency feed, which still uses the old SLF graphics.
I'm assuming you haven't watched TWC in a while?

Just in time for "Green is Universal" week, I colored the TWC logo green on the WeatherStar XL, which may never happen in real life. What do you think?

Hi STAR team
I woke up this morning, and I saw that the Weatherscan here in Spokane has been jumpy, skipping frames every few seconds or so, similar to what it had done a few months ago. Can this be looked into?
Thanks,
Jim

I've been getting no report on the allergy report on the health segment pretty much since last year during the spring/summer months. Should I report this to the STAR team?

General Discussion / Re: Comcast TV guide infoboxes
« on: April 13, 2012, 11:34:56 AM »
Also, I forgot to point out, that when Matlock aired in syndication on my local FOX channel (not anymore as of now) the show info started out with "Grandpa Simpson's favorite series..." Kinda stupid to be referencing to a character on another series who likes this show...

General Discussion / Re: Comcast TV guide infoboxes
« on: April 13, 2012, 11:30:12 AM »One reason the information might not be there yet is because it's too far in the future for the guide service to have entered more specific information. Another reason would be that the channel the show is airing on hasn't yet provided the service with more specific information other than the fact that this show is airing in its regular timeslot.
Some shows never have episode info and instead it's always the show info. For example, The Simpsons on my local FOX channel as well as Two and a Half Men never have episode info on them. Other examples I see are on the PBS Sprout channel, where I see that the kiddie shows on that channel never seem to have episode info and are always the show info for every show on the channel.
That always got me thinking, why subscribe to a service if that service is too lazy to enter episode info for shows on a TV guide?
