Zach: I don't have neither of the equipment you mentioned. I plan to just use a composite and/or an S-video connector to record from the HD receiver. My question is: since that I can only record in a 4:3 format, does this mean that the 16:9 picture will become letterboxed?

I'm not sure if this was the correct way to post, but I need some help identifying this song:

Omak, WA WeatherStar 4000 4/1/2007 6:59PM PST

One of the comments I received in the vid said the song was Who's the Bossa by Patrick Yandall, but then I searched another clip on YT with the same song but it's not the same song as what's in this clip. Does anyone what this song might be? It was played during the March and/or April 2007 primetime playlist, if this hint helps.

Thanks,
TWCJim 

Funk Sway - Patrick Yandall

Thank you so much Alex! This has helped me a lot!

General Discussion / Recording in HD -- Any advice?

« on: August 30, 2011, 12:02:56 PM »

Hi everybody!

Here's the story:

I'm heading over to my sister's house down in Benton City, WA for a few days, and she and her husband have a Dish Network HD DVR receiver. If they'll let me, I want to record an HD satellite LF clip on the HD TWC channel.

The equipment I'll be using is a Roxio USB A/V device (pic shown) and my laptop which has a USB port. The program I use to record clips doesn't have an option of recording in HD but if I connect the Roxio device to the DN HD receiver, (with permission from my sis and bro-in-law) will my image be in full HD or just letterboxed (I.E., black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.) I just need some tips from those who record the HD TWC since I'm new at this.

Thanks,
TWCJim

The IStar came back at :28    but it seems it's running the 90-second flavor. Hopefully the normal 2-minute flavor will be restored soon.

Since the LFs aren't cueing because of Irene, does this mean the SA music is gone for good then?

This has been asked several times. We are not 100% sure, because TWC has not gone into a true "Storm Alert" mode since 2008. If a CAT 3 or higher hits the U.S. and they don't use the music, we'll know for sure.

My bad then. Guess I wasn't paying attention

ImBoredIIDeath/TWCJim's TWC Emulator- Is It Hell or Is It Yuma?

For this update, I brought back the LDL, but restarted from scratch. Also, I updated all the backgrounds and added an ad crawl at the beginning. What do you think?

Does anybody else miss it?

It appears the L-bar has made a return at :18 

Maybe it hasn't been discontinued for good.

I wonder if the Storm Alert music will return because of Irene approaching the US

I read that a fire weather warning, aka a red flag warning, is supposed to go in effect in Spokane and surrounding areas from 1PM PT to 8PM PT later today because of low humidity, high temps and breezy conditions.

Now here's my question: does anyone if a scroll is supposed to appear at the the bottom of the screen on TWC when the FWW goes in effect, or does it even exist and has anyone ever seen any scrolls of this warning? Just need a heads-up.

Thanks,
TWCJim
