Neat update from AVS Forum - Comcast's next step in their video delivery is a massive channel reorganization effort.

Interesting - my IStar locked up, went to Satellite, briefly cut back to the frozen page, then back to national programming with no local LDL.

Betty White was amazing on SNL. Best SNL in a long time. Loved seeing some of the classic cast members
Betty was the only redeeming thing on the program.  Some of the skits before she appeared were painfully unfunny.

Flick and a Forecast is going on as scheduled, apparently.  Dual-feed will be utilized in the storm areas.
Certainly no dual feed here, and we should be getting it, because there are warnings north of the city, and those counties are in the Pittsburgh DMA.
Betty(?) said that everyone was getting the movie, but people in the storm areas would be getting coverage as needed.  So I don't know what happened there.

They are doing it live right now, continuing with Adam and Betty.

Live chat at ".com" at 3 for the severe weather.

It should be noted that in the span of 15 minutes, the Dow went from -300 to nearly -1000 to down -500.  There's someone on CNBC who's on a trading floor said when it hit -1000, everything went BUY.

UPDATE:  Reports are coming in that the massive messup was caused by human error.  Typed B (billion) instead of M (million) in a sell order...caused those massive triggers and the massive swing.  Currently at -262 on the Dow and rallying VERY fast.

You can really tell they are using a cellular connection with their video. Sounds and looks like crap.
AT&T?  lol.

That's kind of stupid renovating a school during the school year :P
Not necessarily... Renovations can take more than a few months... My sister and I remember when they built the extension on my high school back in the early 2000s to add a wing and two floors, including another cafeteria. They did that DURING the school year for a few years, completed in 2002 I think ;)
Yep, when I was in HS they added essentially two new wings and that disrupted things for a couple years.  And we had to move in on a Saturday.

I figured they reverse dual-fed the movie - everyone's primary was the weather programming and the movie was on dual feed (for let's say CA/AK/HI/etc).

As of 12AM Indiana still had the movie, I think.

Also - y'all notice that they've been using the little LDL the entire time?  Early Weekend View with Alex and Ray even was small.

(Did see Jim go postal on Twitter, too)

Personally I think if we are going to all two-line badges, the special groups should be a defined different color (maybe red instead of blue?).
