Re: New youtube videos

I don't want anybody copy my videos on youtube and don't even think about using Windows Movie Maker and create your own. I'm really tired and upset. What I really need is some new Sneak Prevue and Prevue Channel videos. No more emulators. I can understand your frustration. I had these same thoughts...

Re: how did this happen on TNT?

Here is the best way to tell if it is sunspots on satellite. Keep track of the times and the channels that go out at the same time. Usually only one satellite will go out at any one given period, (since each satellite has quite a bit of distance between them - there will be a delay of about 10 minut...

Re: how did this happen on TNT?

I have a cable company in the Philippines which is also using analog (since digital will be started in 2015). During summer, some of our cable channels are scrambled like a DVD or CD player scratch like TNT did in the U.S. FOX, Star World, Star Movies, and Sahara Samay Bihar/Jharkhand had sun outag...

Re: how do i fix Movie and TV Ratings?

Easier solution: You can put (TV-PG) or (TV-G), since the program exactly (e.g. Extra (TV-PG), can turn a normal word to a rating icon. :D This actually works. You can put (TV-PG), etc. just after the listing and send it via Serial and it will automatically change to the correct rating icon. This m...

Re: how did this happen on TNT?

Ahh, the good old days of analog satellite TV.... I watched this video and I know what happened. The satellite receiver at the cable company's head end went off of frequency. When that happens, the video becomes scrambled and the audio changes frequency. On all satellite channels, there is a certain...

Re: 1993 Font trick! (A Fact)

I already knew that, but I never bothered to try it. Also, it appears to have been in early 1994 or so that the listings became mixed-case, Also, there is a (brief) video at YouTube of EPG Sr from 1995 that displays mixed-case listings. They must have waited until most cable systems were using the ...

Re: Curday.dat not reading?

i managed to make my own data, but now i cant find the Julian Day Setting or whatever. The Julian Day information will be the very top line and if you downloaded the file above, the Julian day will follow just after "Hawthorne" and the null character. This value will range from 0 to 255. ...
