TWC Fan Art / Re: TWCZach's Emulations and Drawings

For sure i was bored to do this 



Original image attached. What i did was just put the file on my cameras card, AV out to my VCR, VCR to my tuner via coax and bam. 

LOL! Kinda reminds me of a picture comparison: "Which is better? Time Warner Cable's or Verizon FiOS's?"

Great job, BTW.

This is the final version but with two quirks that should be unnoticed if you dont have good sight  (no offense to anyone lol)

IntelliSTAR v2 Emulation w/ Blue LDL - October 24, 2010

Notes
The XL icons are intentional
The two quirks are the ad crawl gaining speed at the end of it and the first forecast slide has the forecast text fading in instead of the title "Local Forecast"

I'm absolutely floored by this! Almost spot-on! Fantastic job! Keep up the good work!!

Smooth Jazz 107.5 HD-2 The Oasis in Dallas/Fort Worth, TX must be loving the LOT8s. "Callie" by Joyce Cooling was just playing on there as I'm posting this.

Did you use powerpoint??? Because I have those LDL bars And I would like to make an emulation using them but I dont know how to do it. I only know how to make a single slide but nothing else, any advice.

Yes, I do use PowerPoint. This was something I slapped together with no animation as of yet. I did create an L-Bar (2006-2009) emulator on PowerPoint though.

I'm guessing your Slidell IS broke down and they're currently running the Picayune unit as an alternate until the other one can be fixed.

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / #26822 Cuing Issues

« on: September 29, 2010, 12:49:25 PM »

Hi TWC STAR Team, I'm visiting a friend's house and while watching TWC there, I've noticed that IntelliStar #26822 is cuing a few seconds late. At first, I thought it's a typical problem like on my original IS, but after seeing a Sherman Williams commercial, the next commercial began and the local card pops up a few seconds too late. Could you please look into this? Thanks for your time and consideration.

Local WX ID: 26822
Headend: Verizon FiOS (Dallas/Ft. Worth)
