TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Is cable TV going downhill?
« on: July 22, 2011, 11:17:30 PM »Does anybody remember "Roundhouse" from when they introduced SNICK back in 1992? I somehow remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when that show first aired.I remember that show!
In fact, my cable system used to have TWC right next to Nickelodeon on channel 36. To this day (even though our cable system went all digital since March), Nick is still on 35 in my area, but TWC moved to channel 2 in 2003. Bravo took over TWC's former channel number location on 36. I liked it better when it was side-by-side and made it easier to flip back and forth between channels (since I didn't know how to use a remote control keypad until when I was about seven or so). So that way, its family shows and cartoons on one channel and a informational-based weather station (or what was at the time anyway) on a another without having to flip through a bunch of other channels that I either don't watch or rarely watch or even refuse to watch just to find TWC. Of course, I used to do that all the time just so I could find the Prevue Channel whenever when I wanted to see what's on TV.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Is cable TV going downhill?
« on: July 07, 2011, 08:20:58 PM »Most cable systems (even if it is owned by the same company) have differnent channel line-ups in each media market. For example, when I was visiting Panama City Beach, FL last summer, they have Comcast as their only local cable provider. Here in Peoria, we have it too which is also our area's only cable provider as well. While I was visiting PC Beach, I remembered that TWC was on channel 40 in their area, while here in Peoria, we have it on channel 2. So even though its the same network that is also being provided by the same cable company, the local channel line-ups differ in each market. I guess its the staff that works at whichever local cable headend that disides on their channel line-ups and programing packages.I've never understood that, either. I don't know why every Comcast system has different channel lineups and even totally different channels on neighboring systems.I like "Bait Car" as well as "Forensic Files". But "World's Dumbest" is what kept me watching...until Time Willy-Nilly...I mean...Time Warner Cable took it off the analog lineup. At least truTV has their episodes online.Comcast has it on basic in PA, but in NJ we need digital preferred or higher to get it. Makes no friggin sense, because Comcast is Comcast.
What also bothers me is that some cable systems also disides on whichever channel they want to carry. It also bothers me if they carry the channel, they may not even carry the HD feed of the same network. I know the Comcast here in Peoria doesn't have TWC HD, yet they don't even have Weatherscan either! At least PC Beach has both TWC SD and Weatherscan (but I'm not sure if they even have TWC HD since I was only able to tune in to the SD analog cable channels).
Another thing that bothers me about cable here is that some systems even mismatch the local over-the-air broadcast channel numbers. For example, our NBC affiliate, WEEK has their over the air channel number on 25-1, while on our Comcast system, their channel number is 10 (for SD analog) and their digital HD channel is 906, which is a mismatched and confusing. What also bothers me about some over-the-air stations here is that the digital RF number mismatches with the virtual number. For example, our FOX affiliate, WYZZ has their OTA number on 28-1, but yet, it lists the virtual number (or PSIP) as 43-1 (which is based off from its former analog UHF over-the-air number). Yet it gets even more confusing, the same station here on the Peoria area Comcast has it on digital channel 910, while its analog SD channel number is 6. I hate it when cable companies mismatch the channel numbers for over-the-air stations! Yet, I also hate it when brodcast stations mismatches their phyiscal digital RF number with the virtual channel number too!
Either way, the Comcast in Peoria as well as ALL of our local OTA stations stinks! I which we can get the NYC and LA locals instead. I always hate the idea of local affiliated stations anyways. All of my locals would of been better off as independents.

Two weeks ago, I bought volumes 5-7 of Pokémon Adventures, a magazine, protective gear for my new limited edition Pokémon Black themed Nintendo DSi, and a 8GB USB memory stick. As of today, I haven't purchased anything else since then.
