Also a Parisian visitor, ten days a few years ago.  Two days were out of town...at the Tour de France.

If you have Spotify, three TWC CDs are in their database: the second Locals CD, Holiday Party, and Getaway.

Has anyone been able to get a full 720p cap of anything TWC from live TV?

Found this picture on Twitter.. very interesting (and yes, the labeling was done by me )

When was that picture taken? posted?

It'd have to be pretty recent...that's the new SD Sat LF.

They just showed a couple old pictures from apparently the 80s..one of Jim, the other was our favorite old OCM picture of all time...

I like "Bait Car" as well as "Forensic Files". But "World's Dumbest" is what kept me watching...until Time Willy-Nilly...I mean...Time Warner Cable took it off the analog lineup. At least truTV has their episodes online.

Comcast has it on basic in PA, but in NJ we need digital preferred or higher to get it. Makes no friggin sense, because Comcast is Comcast.

I've never understood that, either. I don't know why every Comcast system has different channel lineups and even totally different channels on neighboring systems.

The second phase of "World of More" digital migration is channel unification....locals from 2-99, the rest grouped in appropriate 100s.  HD is 1XXX, where XXX is the SD number (see my TWC...SD could be channel 103, HD at 1103).

I think a lot of the "channels on different tiers" comes from all the purchases they've made over the years.  It wouldn't surprise me if when the channel unification happens, tier rearragement happens as well.

Never mind the fact that Comcast now owns NBC, anyway.

It will be interesting to see if the new studio overhaul brings in more of the corporate synergy.

This is going to sound very stupid, but if we are having that many issues with our debt, why cant our mint just produce the extra bills?

Because the more you print, the less it is worth, therefore defeating the purpose.

Go do a Wiki search for the Zimbabwe Dollar.

When it boots up, on the saga output, I can see that it is trying to FTP out and I assume get data... I wonder if I could get inside and change the FTP IP t o one on. Y own server, that way I could feed it anything I want.

Easier to find out the IP it wants, then build a dummy network to your server with that IP.

I wish they would make either a mobile app or a better smartphone friendly site, though.

Does anyone have any footage of TWC from yesterday from around 3-4PM?  Looking for tornado warnings where they listed counties in Indiana.

 TORNADO WARNING FOR...
ELKHART COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL INDIANA...
NORTHERN KOSCIUSKO COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL INDIANA...
SOUTHERN LAGRANGE COUNTY IN NORTHEAST INDIANA...
NORTHEASTERN MARSHALL COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL INDIANA...
NOBLE COUNTY IN NORTHEAST INDIANA...
SOUTHEASTERN ST. JOSEPH COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL INDIANA..
http://goshennews.com/breakingnews/x1190397084/Tornado-warning-issued-for-Elkhart-County

I need actual video....TWC has really messed up their warning system for Indiana and have declared that Allen county has been under every severe t'storm and tornado warning in Indiana since they went to this new graphics system

This is the obligatory "but the SD IStar still looks like s***" post.

How smooth is the SD version compared to the HD one?  The HD one is very smooth and great...this looks just as good.

The lack of decent themed music is disappointing as well.

Bring back Evening Edition dang it
