Re: AP2000

Sorry to bump an old thread - but I wanted to share a number of old photos of AP2000s that swest77 shared with me many years ago. Unsure if these have been posted here, or not: http://prevueguide.com/Hardware/Amiga/a2000-pg/

TV Guide Hollywood Genlock

Some years ago, I found (on eBay) a genlock card that was apparently used by the "Hollywood" Windows NT-based TV Guide Channel system. Some folks in Discord are doing an investigation on TV Guide Channel hardware and asked me to share - so I'm posting here for posterity's sake. http://prev...

Re: Trying to get the Channel Lineup to Upload to Version 7.8.3

Hey Steven, I'm very sorry for the delay here. I spent a while trying different stuff here but ultimately I wasn't able to reproduce any problems that were specific to version 7.8.3. There was a lot of data in your serial log so it was hard to figure out which parts to experiment with - but ultimate...

Re: Trying to get the Channel Lineup to Upload to Version 7.8.3

Hey Steven,

2 questions:
- Are you trying to provide channel lineup via curday.dat, or via mode C serial commands?
- Can you provide an example of a command or curday that your program is generating that is not working? I can try to inspect it and see if I can figure out what’s going wrong.

Re: New youtube videos

You must have forgotten: Great find! This is really cool. I knew that the EPG logo had the same typeface as the Prevue logo, but I didn't know that it was ever used on-air. And interesting to see that they called it "The EPG" (I had seen that mentioned in a press release before). And that...

Re: New youtube videos

Not a new video - but something I hadn't seen before. An ad for advertising on the EPG channel, complete with an Electronic Program Guide jingle! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYrNEkS_RYQ

Also, here's an EPG (perhaps Apple II?) clip from 1985: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksMuLqP4_nM
