It's strange that none of the LDs previously posted contained a simple "MediaOne" logo; only "MediaOne Home Theater."

Here is more footage from a VHS I found the other day:

September 22, 1997 (Sneak Prevue): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yipLY6VcBsc
[not sure why, but YT cut the video short]

They did had a different "MediaOne" logo that came from the February, 1997 Laserdisc. Which was just a globe with a plug and it reads "Media1". This was before "Continental Cablevision" became MediaOne and had that then-new logo as it was shown on that footage you have.

YouTube is a pain sometimes when it comes to this. But, if that video is long, I hope it doesn't cut off again!

Speaking of cable company logos, does anyone remember when the logos at the top of the screen
were slightly stretched out and larger? The video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N99HJv8yKI
shows what I'm talking about. Here are two comparisons I rendered in GIMP years ago:

Great footage, metrodetroiter! I'll prioritize uploading the LaserDiscs from around that time… maybe I'll have time to work on it tonight. Unfortunately most of my LaserDiscs are earlier; the only discs I have from 1996-2002 are March '96, February '97, and February '02. I don't have the October/November '97 discs (does anyone else?)

I hope somebody will find a Sneak Prevue LD from 1995 or very early 1996 that has the PPV promos for Wes Craven's New Nightmare.

Prior to the February, 1995 Edition, I did a remastered version of "Sneak Prevue" from Time Warner Home Theatre.

Here's the video:
