Regarding 8-pin DIN vs. 4-pin Y/C, yeah, you're right. Also thanks for pointing out BV12 and IV4 are the same machine. I surmised BV12 was an EPG Sr as well, and now that I can that see it does in deed have a genlock card, I wonder if the reason for its input isn't house reference black but instead ...

@Ari - Since you seem to be the expert in this department, you should edit the Wikipedia entry for TV Guide Channel and create a section listing the musical elements previously used by Prevue Guide/Channel. I.e., mention that the original theme is an unidentified James & Aster library piece, th...

Why, If I have any more Prevue Guide storytelling ideas, I might just call you on that.

Ari - Sounds good. And I reckon this open source idea satisfies my "criteria." ;) Really, I didn't mean to seem rude bringing up your eventual disappearance. It wasn't so much a prognostication that you're doomed to being run over by a bus. Just, everyone's hobbies change, people find them...

Do you think you might be able to post the resulting prevue guide logo picture? I want to stuff it into the TVguide version we currently have ;) The one from my video? Sure: http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/9215/pglogo.png also - dunno if any of your videos have this, perhaps the end of scroll pr...

Edit: Holy shit , swest. You got all that typed in while I was going back and forth between typing this post up, and editing the wiki. Time to soak all that in :D If you really want to know, I composed the whole thing in Notepad in FInalH26f and then just pasted it into Ari's forum. 8-) (God, my ey...

Well, remember, the EPG Jr. and EPG Sr. units came first (sucking data from WGN on Satcom F3, transponder 3 at the time), and only in 1988 did Prevue Guide come along (on Satcom F4 transponder 8), sucking data from that feed's video VBI instead of WGN's. So it's easily possible that F4-08's VBI data...

Heh, thanks for all the compliments. :shock: Yes, the first AmigaDOS screen was entirely a mock-up using an Amiga font clone . The rest (OS background, its mouse pointer, the channel changing snow and sound effect toward the end) was just winged in Photoshop and CoolEdit. Ah, cool. Where'd you get ...

Aha! all becomes clear, I was confused because I see a few amigas on some of the pictures that have a 4x BNC card on them, and I assumed that was where the audio was input and switched - now I see the light ;) Ah, what you were seeing there was a Sneak Prevue A2000. See the very bottom of my post h...

Holy cow. I disappear for a day and look what happens. Everything comes unhinged and breakthroughs rain from the sky. :D Well, a warning. This post is going to be a monster! Apologies in advance, but hopefully what I'm contributing makes up for it. First off, amazing work, all of you, on this. Wow, ...
