You still need one of those clunky TV tuner cards? Ugh. The slingbox looks promising, but I don't see anything on their site about capturing video or images from TV.

General Discussion / TV to computer

Is there an easy way to get screenshots and video from your TV to your computer? Maybe though WiFi? The last time I attempted this was about a decade ago, and that was going from a VHS tape to my computer. The process was such a pain (I purchased multiple devices trying to find one that worked at least most of the time) that I gave up. I was kind of hoping that technology had progressed by now, and the process wasn't such a pain.

Hate to burst your bubble, but do you really think the CEO (who seems to be rather arrogant) is going to take the demands of a few fans seriously?

I could be wrong, but I think all the emulator projects here are long dead.

I wonder why he's never released "For The Touch?" That's my favorite song by him.

For the Touch is available as part of the Network Music Ensemble collection.

I know. I was just wondering why he's never released it on one of his CDs.

Does anybody think that TWC may have bought out Network Weather and is keeping Dave on board as one of those typical buyout deals where the purchasing company keeps valuable talent from the company they bought? I'm sure it wouldn't have cost much to purchase Network Weather and shut it down; TWC might have made a move like that just as a precaution to silence the competition.

I'm not saying this is what actually happened, but it seems plausible.

That's another possibility. Though I'm not sure why you would purchased a competitor before you even know what you're competing against (if anything).

I know that makes me sound like some wild conspiracy theorist, but this announcement seems a little too convenient and of a coincidence especially considering Dave was largely apart of one of those companies that was expected to compete against TWC before those plans were scrapped.

Seems unlikely. If you were worried about competition, why would you hire someone from a station that no longer exists? And not just a station that failed, but one that never even got off the ground.

Wow, that's awesome! I'm not changing providers (mainly b/c I can't), but that's awesome! TWC finally doing something right!

General Discussion / YouTube subscriptions

« on: March 14, 2014, 10:20:56 AM »

For those of you that use YouTube, they have once again screwed up the subscriptions area! Now it shows all recent videos (whether you've watched them or not), and there's no way to remove them from the list. I also noticed this morning that all, but one of my subscriptions were gone (so I had to remember which channels they were and re-subscribe)! I don't really mind all the changes they make, but I really don't understand why it's so difficult for them to make this area work properly.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: DirecTV Dropping TWC

« on: February 27, 2014, 10:20:16 AM »

I'm not looking forward to the launch of AccuWeather.   As far as I see it, they're going to be just as bad as TWC (or worse) when it comes to a Northeast/East Coast coverage bias (their website is already a great example of this).  At least WeatherNation seems to devote equal time in covering each region of the US.

AccuWeather is also not so "accu." At least in my area. They sometimes don't even get the current conditions right!

I disagree. I've watched a bit of WeatherNation. Looks like a joke to me.

I agree. I'm not impressed with WeatherNation. I wish I was. Of course, they're a new company, so I'm willing to wait and see if they improve.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Is cable TV going downhill?

« on: February 23, 2014, 10:01:49 PM »

Is it just me, or is A&E taking cues from TWC and creating a new reality show every month? The weird thing is that most of them run for a couple of weeks, and then are never shown again. Shows like Crazy Hearts Nashville, Modern Dads, Psychic Tia, Rodeo Girls, and The Governor's Wife were supposedly the next best thing. Yet I haven't seen an ad about them since their initial run. Which is fine with me. I'm sick of shows about trashy/fake people. And given the success of Duck Dynasty, you'd think they would create new shows that are similar to it (ie. shows that appeal to families). Apparently not (except for Wahlburgers).
