Re: New youtube videos

Yep, I remember that one as well! It had a different version of the "Prevue" ident from 1998 as well. Too bad, it cut off the "Prevue Online" promo at the end. I wish their was more of it. Therefore, I'm still looking for "Prevue Family", though. If only the video had s...

Re: Sneak Prevue Laserdisc!

Huh. So maybe they teamed up because Prevue wanted to use Starnet's technology and Starnet wanted to use Prevue's content. I wonder how/why this dissolved and/or why they didn't fully combine their products. I guess they wanted to do it separately, I didn't understand the idea either. But I think i...

Re: Sneak Prevue Laserdisc!

I figured that the Pay-Per-View Previews and Information Channel was called "The Barker", so generally it was part of Prevue and Starnet. In fact, I did remember this channel did played Prevue's ReelTalk between previews and some "Sneak Prevue" Promos, which simply had the "...

Re: How where the primestart Prevue guides setup?

Well from what I remember, "PrimeStar" did have the same grid as the one in Mexico and Prevue Junior, where the grid doesn't scroll. I saw this when local stores where selling "PrimeStar" satellite services.

Re: LISTINGS!

I'm currently playing around with my AP2000, and I've posted a video stream if want to see. Right now, not too much interesting stuff is going on, and the feed itself isn't great. I'm almost done with the data server, so I will be testing that out a bit on here, but also at some point soon I'll be ...

Re: Sneak Prevue Laserdisc!

Now that were in the topic, I remember "Sneak Prevue" did had a promo back in 1995 where a suspicious crook, wearing tree branching on his head, was trying to return the tapes at a local video store late at night, then he was spotted by the cops and was later behind bars with the "Sne...

Re: Sneak Prevue Laserdisc 2002 Backgrounds

Yeah, neither did I! I guess they changed the backgrounds in mid-1999, because I saw a video (was it yours?) from early 1999 with a different presentation style. Yes, it was my video. I recorded it at my cousin's house, she had MediaOne ever since she moved there in 1997. I started getting an 8-hou...

Re: Sneak Prevue Laserdisc!

I'm thinking a video like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9kaxqGmaa4 may be an example of the MPEG delivery system instead of the LaserDisc, simply because it doesn't have those pauses at the end of each audio/video clip. That was the Pay-Per-View Previews and Information Channel, that was used in ...

Re: Sneak Prevue Laserdisc!

Yes, I would like to have the entire "Sneak Prevue" footage all from those years. That reminds me, I remember I found a picture of a Sneak Prevue Laserdisc that dates back to 1995 that was sold on ebay back in 2005. I posted that on my Prevue Guide Yahoo group ever since. I wish I had purc...

Re: Sneak Prevue Laserdisc 2002 Backgrounds

Cool! That was exactly what I had on my August 1999 clip of Sneak Prevue from MediaOne. I can't wait to see a video of all the previews, promo and clips of the channel, when it was active. I didn't know Charter Communications and Adelphia used "Sneak Prevue" as some areas used only the Pay...
