Any way you could get some screenshots or videos of your XL? I'm sure everyone here would be interested in seeing them.

I just noticed they've opened a Sonic here in Bensalem. I thought that was a southern chain!

Nope. They're set to open one around here, too, from what I've heard.

Wow, just when you thought Chris couldn't get any more annoying...

I have to laugh at this:

I feel like reporting TWCT to SMF because of this.

What can they do? Oh wait, I know, nothing.

It seems that all long-form programming will be preempted tonight. We have Carl Parker and Kristina Abernathy hosting PM Edition. I imagine that we will then see Adam Berg and Kristin Dodd host EE... But 9pm et-2am et will be a pretty long shift for them.

Ocean City, MD is a Getaway Forecast city on the Ocean City, MD IntelliStar. It's not an uncommon occurrence.

That's usually what I do when I record or stream my emulator.

Since when do you use Vista?

the issue is still ongoing.

I don't think this is an "issue." I believe the logo being up there is 100% intentional.

Err, thats inserted by the same system that adds the little advertisements in the corner during the LOT8's. I assume they just have it there as a place holder.

Look up some videos with sponsorship logos, you'll notice they appear at the same time, or start to "animate" at the same time.

Yeah... That system is called an IntelliStar.

Interesting. I wonder if that "bug" is being inserted by the DirecTV/Dish IntelliStars or is a part of the satellite LF itself?
