Everything Else TWC / Re: YUCK at Skytracker

« on: April 22, 2008, 03:37:44 PM »

I'm expecting with the HD transition, the static radars (radars unmovable, unlike Skytracker) will become extinct on TWC. There's really no need for them anymore... and while Skytracker isn't my favorite radar... I'm sure TWC will have a nicer, newer version of Skytracker in HD. WSI has come out with some really neat radars in the past few years which many local stations use... so I anticipate TWC will follow.

Local stations here have used radars similar to Skytracker for over way 5 years now.

Also, there needs to be some space between the bottom of your TV and where the text starts because depending on your tv (it might not show the picture size the exact size) and the way your headend relays the signal, the text might get bumped off-screen a little.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: I'm Now Officially a FiOS TV Customer!

I have the Triple Freedom package: $99/mo forever for phone (including caller id, call waiting, and unlimited long distance, USA only); FiOS internet; and FiOS TV Premiere. Plus the $5/mo for the box rental (x2) and the DVR service ($9.99/mo), so the total bill comes up to about $140 (including local, state, and federal taxes) for all three services. FYI - my cable bill alone with Comcast, including ONE box and a DVR, and less channels than FiOS was $125/mo.

Why exactly does FiOS have a lot less headends than other cable companies?

The statements by some about FiOS being new and less spread-out isn't really why they have less headends (and less STARs). The real reason is FiOS is a new technology, so they can have one single headend cover a LARGE area, unlike previous cable technologies. For example, there is only one FiOS headend for the entire state of MA; also, there is only one for central NJ and northern NJ, and that is a large area. Word is there are complaints from TWC viewers from that headend daily because the forecast point is Somerville, and viewers extend as far south as just east of Trenton, and as far north as NYC. That's just how it works.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Jennifer Lopez

I'm wondering if Jennifer decided to seek other employment opportunities after she was taken off of PM Edition. It wouldn't surprise me if that was the case.

Honestly, that was my first thought as well. Talk about a downgrade of employment... from PME (prime time) to a fill-in/weekend OCM. I'd be pretty pissed, too.

Just saw this pop across my TV screen:

That's EXACTLY what Comcast's EAS looks like here. Not sure about Verizon's, though, as I haven't seen one yet.

Jennifer was also one of my favorite TWC OCMs... esp when paired with Carl Parker on PME.


BTW... Mike said Dao left... this true? I wasn't aware...



Also... to avoid fighting... I did post this story at TWCC, but was unaware it was already here. I found the story on Google News a bit ago... so please, lets not fight. Thanks. 

I'm very glad you mentioned something. I was very disappointed for a moment.

Yeah. I checked here a few minutes after posting that just because I was planning on coming back tonight, saw this thread, and was like "SOB. Gary's gonna flip."

I have no plans in upgrading to Vista anytime soon. I don't have much problems with XP, plus I like XP's appearance and how it's more customizable than Vista. I took a look at Vista in computer shops and it looked like they were just copying off of Mac OS X.

Huh? Vista's appearance is WAY more customizable than XP's.

Wow, it seems like I'm the only one who likes Vista around here...

Nope, I <3 it!

Alright, the info contained within this thread was just a hoax by Gary... the only big plan "a comin'" was my return today.

I do still have an account here, but have chosen not to utilize it for obvious reasons. However, I will not let Gary bash me without a rebuttal.

Now he's trying to stick it to me by intentionally starting and discussing topics related to THIS era of TWC. He invites people to TWCC under the pretense that its a site to talk about current goings on. Thats unethical, and a lie.

I've already expressed my thoughts to you and Matt about the agreement you two came up with, so drop it already for God's sake.

 What are you talking about? Isn't that why both sites have an opposing section (TWCC has a "current" thread, and TWCT has a "classic" thread)?? I have every right to start a thread there in that articular "current" forum.
