Programming and Graphics / NBC Universal to merge with Comcast

« on: December 03, 2009, 06:38:01 AM »

this was announced today, Comcast has placed a bid that NBC approved to merge the companies to create one new company. This is pending government approval. Now I don't necessarily hate Comcast, but WHAT THE HELL..?!

Programming and Graphics / Re: Weather Channel To Share With NBC Affiliates

It would always be great to see TWC's footage outreach extend to my local NBC station. Where TWC used to be a station of their own, now sharing their stories with affiliates, better bringing attention to TWC as a weather news authority than simply as an entity out there only extending as far as their inhouse staff.

Wow, that's a high ID. Must be a new STAR. Is the configuration still the same? When I was in my dentist's office last week (they have the same Willow Grove-based STAR), the ID was the old one, 21863.

configuration looks exactly the same, i usually record wuwa every morning, so i gotta see between which days it changed. there was nothing wrong with the machine, unless something is happening behind the scenes and we arent being told. for example, a machine upgrade because of something TWC is up to or in the works to do.. i do know that ive had 21863 since 2003.. my area is always picked on to be the first for new stuff, so who knows what..?

General Discussion / NVidia S-Video TV Output Issue

« on: November 24, 2009, 05:11:36 AM »

This isn't so much of an issue as a quirk with nvidia cards, but I upgraded the computer that I use to stream my emulator to a newer desktop computer. The issue that I am having on the output is that the graphics card is putting a black border around the "unsafe" area of the screen, leaving the video contents inside border. The emulator relies on taking advantage of the entire screen area, not just the "safe" area. The NVidia graphics tool allows for the border color to be changed, but not removed. So my question is, has anyone experienced such an issue to have found out how to disable the outlying border? Incase anyone wants to examine what is happening, my stream is up, the link in my footer. Thanks to anyone who can share any insight!

I am curious if anyone has decided to take it upon themselves to create the transparent logo used during "TWC Presents".
