Re: Curday.dat Data Format

This is great stuff, thanks for posting! Answers a lot of my questions about that file, and probably about the serial data format too! It'd be cool if I had time in the near future to start working on this again... Arix, The more I researched it and sent the last message, I felt like a host of an i...

Re: Curday.dat Data Format

Hi all. I think I can put to rest a few more questions that have come up about Curday.dat and some interesting facts that you may not have seen yet. Here goes... First of all, what I did was take the Los Angeles listings and run the listings for 7 days non-stop in the emulator. What I wanted to do w...

Re: Action Pay-Per-View

Certainly does answer my question. Thanks Steven. At one point iN DEMAND had 34 channels that is if you don't include Hot Choice (if included it'd be 35 channels). Now it is down to 7 channels or 8 channels if you include Hot Choice. It could be 9 channels if you include HD PPV. So, Action Pay-Per-...

Re: Action Pay-Per-View

Has anybody ever heard of the smallest Pay-Per-View service called Action Pay-Per-View? The only time I saw it was when my Cable System (Cable Michigan), was going from analog to digital. For a few days it replaced the only Adult Pay-Per-View channel. Did any Cable System have all 3 services: Reque...

Re: New youtube videos

Found a very interesting clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeolMiEP1Yk Seems to be the format of Prevue Guide matched up to the look of the Prevue Channel. I live pretty close to where this video was taken and I remember that also in some Atlanta suburbs that they also had a guide that look...

Re: Sneak Prevue Laserdisc!

I'm amazed that the "Sneak Prevue" videos only lasted an hour, considering that there would have been even more material on both sides. Like maybe, those "Sneak Prevue" and "Prevue Channel" promos included as an extra. Only one side of the LaserDisc had anything on it ...

Re: Digital Cable Subscribers: What is your guide?

Steven, that is a pretty fun thing to look through - also, if your box has EBIF (Comcast calls it iTV), you can get EBIF info by going into any iTV app (including "caller ID", which is just an EBIF app), and quickly pressing menu three times in a row. Arix, I know. It's very interesting t...

Re: Digital Cable Subscribers: What is your guide?

I have TV Guide iGuide which allows whatever channel you're watching in the upper-righthand corner. Can't think of the software version right now. That particular feature relies on your cable box hardware, and older STBs like the DCT 2000 and DCT 1000 (not including Pre-Quod) can't take advantage o...

Re: Sneak Prevue Laserdisc 2002 Backgrounds

I figured that Charter did used "Sneak Prevue", but I do know that in some areas, Charter used "The Barker". Joseph, I have Charter Cable here in GA and our Sneak Prevue was originally purchased while it was Falcon Cable TV. Falcon Cable TV was bought out by Charter in October o...
