Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion

« on: September 29, 2008, 01:32:16 PM »

No...


Long story short... Jae posted that video of Kevin sleeping at the desk... A user sent Jae a message asking for him to remove it, the user claiming to be Kevin Robinson. I got in touch with the user, and asked him to contact me via TWC's Lotus Notes or via TWC's email (OWA) ... He said he didnt know how to use Lotus (Which made him seem fake) but he said that he'd be filling in for Marshall on the Friday show and to watch for him, as that type of announcement isnt made public and only he / the producers would know.

Well, there he is on screen...

However, I did ask him to identify some things around the building though, things that are unique to TWC and can be easily spotted. He hasnt responded to that yet.

Local Forecast / Re: Thursday, September 25th DirecTV “local on the eights” will start

« on: September 28, 2008, 10:22:51 PM »

Argh, the Local forecast application HAS NOT been launching for the past hour.

But the local "On Demand Version" is working fine. Like the graphics!

Let me guess; the preemption was probably messing with something since it wasn't the regular schedule. I wonder exactly what they use to cue the DirecTV boxes...

Well, there is problaly a Control PC between TWC and DirecTV... Since the LOT8s arnt always on the true :8's the Control PC problaly decodes the VBI, and then converts the cue signal to something DirecTV understands, which then cues the box.

We took control of the situation rather quickly. Thus, you saw nothing.

General Discussion / Re: Coaxial to A/V?

« on: September 27, 2008, 10:39:57 PM »

Nope, what you do is just hook up the AV cables, then it outputs it in coaxial format... It's basically a $15 redundancy box / paper weight... That box will provide you with a coaxial output, and so does your receiver... However, that box may provide a better quality coaxial output.

I hope they improve this feature nevertheless. I see many flaws. I like it that such an application was developed though. If I change the channel right after the local kicks in, it shows the satellite lf instead.

I tried the same thing but it came on.

What receiver do you have?

K

One other quick point... Those DTV boxes would NOT have the power to render any transitions let alone a full 720 res. video for a transition... Im sure the boxes are already choking to pull this off as it is..

The LDL remains off during LF's because of appearance. It wouldn't look right jumping from the local boxes to the national feed with the LDL suddenly on screen.

About Dish's LDL... IIRC both DirecTV and Dish are controlled via the same config file (seprate systems, but similar configuration) so when TWC removed the LDL from showing during the LF's for DirecTV, it problaly got applied to Dish's LDL as well.
