My cable box still uses the old TWC logo.
Hmm, I have an SA box like you and it doesn't have any logos in its guide.  :thinking:
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.

They never were a permanent pairing for EE in the first place. :P

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

Back to when we were talking about the logos:

This logo was taken through my TV Tuner:




And this was the logo made at Taiganet:

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.

Weird. My receiver shows the updated logo.
