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?

General Discussion / Comcast TV guide infoboxes

« on: April 12, 2012, 07:07:31 PM »

On the guide, I've seen several shows that just tell you the info of the show and not the show episode. For example, for a syndicated run of the sitcom "Two and a Half Men," the infobox will tell you "A hit sitcom built on often-raunchy material starring Charlie Sheen and, later, Ashton Kutcher."

Does this come from a source, or are the cable headend techs just too lazy to enter in the episode info in the infobox of the shows on the guide?

The reflecting TWC logo on the IntelliStar LDL is back again, running over the satellite LDL.

Seems TWC is airing this lineup before the :58 LF as of yesterday:

- Normal commercial break
- Station ID segment
- TWC ad
- LOT8's sponsorship ad
- Second half of the "Ice Pilots" LOT8's intro
- LF

That's a terrible lineup IMO

VH1 Classic, a music channel dedicated to all things classic hard rock and metal, is now showing the sitcom "Married... with Children" on the network. What does that show have to do with hard rock and/or metal?

It seems that the cable headend logos and their channel numbers on the station ID segment, cued by the IntelliStar, are missing, but the radio station screens are cuing as normal. At first I thought this might have been a local headend issue with Charter in Astoria, but I saw that Xfinity in Spokane has done it also.

My girlfriend and I unsuccessfully found somewhere new to live during our trip IMP   

After staying the night in Vancouver, we continued our vacation to the Washington/Oregon coast IMP. We returned home today after spending the night last night in The Dalles IMP. So to make a long story short, we aren't exactly moving out of Spokane just yet IMP

WTF is this channel?

Here's another clip of the similar thing, this time at another motel room with the same cable headend (Charter)

WTF?!? What channel is this?!?

I recorded this clip from my motel room earlier today. Looks like some sort of heart monitor. Maybe it's from the Charter cable headend building in Astoria? Anyone have any idea what this might be?

Here's an updated version of the programming LDL I made for the WeatherStar XL. This time I made it in a similar format to the LDL on the IntelliStar. Whaddya think?

I wanted to tell you guys in a separate thread, and seeing that I haven't been as active before, I have some news to tell you: 

I'm pregnant. I'm having a boy and is due sometime in September. :3

Tell us this again tomorrow and I might believe you. 

BAHAHAHAHA. okay, my attempt to fool you all kinda flopped. and that's because I didn't provide "proof". IT WORKED AT ANOTHER FORUM THOUGH. ^_^

I did a few jokes though:

-I intentionally quit my modding job, as well as many staff because of a rouge admin "taking over" the forum and  changing things that weren't supposed to be changed. Half of the community were on the edge to leave and go on different communities, but at midnight my time they stopped the joke and revealed that the rouge admin does not exist. (sorry for the spoilers, Zach, and sorry for outraging you!)

-I got banned at another community. I told a super-mod to ban me & a few other members for the day. It was horrible.

-My fake pregnancy.

We should have pulled something here, tbh. Like... turn TWCT into AccuWeatherToday or something like that.

Hahaha I thought you were really expecting! That was a good one.

Have you ever been to Vancouver or Victoria, up north in Canada (BC)? Lovely place down there.

To be honest, I loathe the Canadians imp 

BTW, you forgot the imp part imp
