General Discussion / Re: Commercials You Loathe

Another commercial I now loathe is the latest AutoNation spot. I get it, they're trying to get the word out that our local Bankston Autos in Dallas/Fort Worth is now AutoNation, but it's been (over)played on my local TV stations almost every commercial break. And why are they using a "Ghostbusters" theme?!

Bankston is now AutoNation!

We have one just like that! With the same little yellow arrow too. It goes: "If you need a car, truck or van, who you gonna call? Call Dobbs!" -_-...hate those commercials

My former hometown of Spokane has a dealership called Appleway Motors, which is owned by AutoNation and also used the same graphics and music, with lyrics that go "Who you gonna call? Appleway!" That was really annoying and I hated that ad 

The Tampa Bay Area's AutoNation dealerships are known as AutoWay.. With the tagline "Who you gonna call? AutoWay!"

So basically 4000's and XL feeds will shut down?

If they don't create a way to get them onto the digital uplink, then yes.. same with the Junior as well

I have Charter Limited Basic with TWC on analog channel 19. I wonder if that is going to be affected by the network's digital transition 

Not at all -- if you have a headend with an IntelliStar, then you're seeing the digital SD feed of TWC 

Also I should note that this has nothing to do with the viewers getting analog or digital cable.. all this means is that the AMC-11 feed of TWC (which is their analog SD uplink and is used for legacy STARs) will be going away.. the digital feed is used on IntelliStars and is received via the AMC-10 satellite. Hopefully this clears anything up.

Has anyone noticed how NWS uses "Washington's Birthday" on their text based forecasts now instead of "Presidents' Day"? What's the deal with that?

You mentioned this a year ago

Hmm, it appears as if the local radar map got zoomed in on the Tampa weatherscan..  I'm thinking it might be like that now because of the addition of new cities to the unit and I'd assume that Sarasota, Pasco, and Polk Counties have different map views for those other cities than Tampa.

Someone likes Ryan Farish

I built the playlist around love-related songs, and that's why he dominates the list like that
