Title: DirecTV Wrong Guide Listing
Post by: Zach on August 06, 2008, 02:09:23 PM
:unsure: Today, I saw the ad for the 2 hours of ICHT/FFN, but does anyone who has DirecTV still have the program reading: Weather: WeatherCenter from 2-4 PM?

And what's on is ICHT.

ICHT and FFN at 2 and 3 PM ET is most likely only temporary, which is why your guide said Weather Center on at that time.

Are you sure?
Because the next day, it will probably say "It Could Happen Tomorrow" or "Full Force Nature".

I say it may be temporary because look what happened last time. We only saw ICHT and FFN at those hours for only 2 days, and we figured that may be because Nick and Vivian were rehearsing in the HD studio.

Well,

I saw nick and Vivian in the HD Studio on July 4 for the 5 PM Eastern Hour of PM Edition.

Yeah, but if that were the case they probably wouldn't have shown advertisements for the block.

Yes, that's probably what they were rehearsing for. :yes: And with Weather Center premiering in HD next week, they're probably taking today (and possibly tomorrow) to rehearse again.

Speaking of which, does anyone else see the old retro rounded edge TWC logo in their guide? Or is that just my 2002 receiver? :P

My SA box for Rogers up here in Canada doesnt show logo's either.

However, my DirecTV box shows the 2nd gen logo similar to Billy's box. I have another one thats about 6 months old as well, it shows the 2nd gen logo as well.

At least it's better than my box. It just shows "Weather Channel" all day long. It doesn't list the names of the shows, not even long-form programming.

That's how my box was until a few months back when they finally decided to put the actual programming names on.

On my box, it lists "WeatherCenter" all day. Are we in 1999 or 2008 here? :P

Judging by whats playing on the LF, 1999. The calendar, however, says 2008.  :rofl: :P

This logo was taken through my TV Tuner:

Wow, I still have two of those boxes sitting around here but not in use. Those are from 1998 or 1999, correct?

It was a DTC-100 RCA Box, which had the graphics designed to look like a box from 1999.
I'm getting it replaced this Saturday.
