General Discussion / Death of One of our own Members

I'm not sure if anyone at TWC Today heard on Facebook, but some of you may remember James Brock (a.k.a. thegrudge58). According to this news article, he was murdered. A suspect is already taken into custody and charged. The investigation is still ongoing.

If this is inappropriate in any way, feel free to take it down. I just want to pass along the word--painful as it seems.

We also gotta factor in social media usage. I know I'm guilty of it too, although sometimes it feels good to disconnect while on the go.

TWC and your Cable Company / Layer3 TV Cable
« on: May 09, 2017, 05:12:23 PM »
Just recently, Layer3 TV has started operations in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Those that don't know what Layer3 TV is, it's a new cable company based in Schaumburg (outside of Chicago) providing all channels in high-definition (HD). Included in the lineup is The Weather Channel. Though it is unknown if they have any IntelliStar 2 units or if they'll acquire them.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Charter Communications Discussion
« on: May 23, 2016, 03:33:01 PM »
The Charter cluster in Fort Worth, Denton, and Cleburne went all-digital in 2013. Just last summer, my Time Warner Cable cluster went all digital, and we got digital adapters which are far cheaper than the set-top boxes.

With Time Warner Cable's lines far more advanced with faster internet and crystal clear digital picture, the rest of the aforementioned Charter cluster is gonna have to get with the program. From what I heard, they're still using old lines in some parts.

It's official. Time Warner Cable is now Charter Communications.

Will you need to change the cable provider identifier from Time Warner to Charter?

You can if you wanna get ahead of things. We may not notice the change now, but the Time Warner Cable name will soon be phased out in a matter of months.

It's fixed now. Thanks STAR team!

As of 11:30AM (Central), the IS2 that serves Grapevine, Irving, and Lewisville is not working. All I'm seeing are national conditions/forecasts, especially on the LOT8s segments.

Headend: Time Warner Cable (soon to be Charter)
Channel: 37 / 211
STAR Type: Intellistar 2
Local WX ID: Unknown
Cities served: Grapevine, Irving, and Lewisville

I think you summed up what I wanna say on both sides as well. If I want news, I can tune to WFAA-TV in my vicinity.

See if you can try another video-sharing site like Vimeo. Google, the owners of YouTube are being cruel when it comes to copyrighted material.

Heard "So What" by Miles Davis on the trailer for the biopic "Miles Ahead" about said jazz legend (it's between 0:52 and 1:04 on the video below).

General Discussion / Re: Commercials You Loathe
« on: March 12, 2016, 10:24:22 AM »
I will ressurect this topic. I hate the commercials where they ask you to send money to help poor children who are not as fortunate as others. I think those commercials are designed to play on the viewers' sympathy.
That and I think they're playing reused stock footage on their "new" commercials. <_<

Don't get me wrong, I'm a charitable guy. When it comes to this kind of stuff--especially for those with muscular dystrophy or cancer, etc., at least they're local and I'm working with the real deals.
