DIY, COOKING, SPORTSMAN, and OUTDOOR Channel NOT in HD?

Can someone at Comcast offer any hope of these channels ever being provided in HD for 32448 zip area?  

OK, you caught my interest enough to look at WHYY HD (channel 512 from VHO8) since I thought I had seen programming in HD in the past.  I am watching the Nightly Business Report (7:00 PM) now and it is in 16:9 HD.  The promos for NOVA are also running in 16:9.  My guess is that what you are seeing is shows that are only shot in 4:3 letterbox which would come across on the HD channel with pillars (left and right) and bars (top and bottom).  Remember, not all shows are shot in HD and probably a lot of PBS shows are much later to the HD game due to non-commercial funding.
Just my quick observation.

  • New .TV (pets, recipe, etc.) and Viacom channels not in zap2it or Tivo guides

    So, it's been about a month since the new .tv channels came out and two days since the Viacom HD channels were introduced.  And zap2it.com, Tivo, etc. all still don't list ANY of the new channels in their programming guides.
    I've opened cases with Tivo.  With Zap2it.  With Verizon.  Everyone points fingers saying it's the other's fault.
    In the meantime, for the .TV channels that got added a while back, if you go to zap2it, or Tivo, you get "loor633" for channel name and "to be announced" for guide info for pets.tv.  You get "loor599" for Cars.tv.  You get "loor674" for MYDestination.tv.  Etc.
    And for the Viacom channels, you also get nothing.  Just blank space with "to be announced" for programming info.
    From what I understand, Verizon needs to tell Tribune that their channel lineup has changed.  And Tribune, Zap2it and Tivo all claim that Verizon hasn't done that.  Verizon, of course, is silent on the matter and the "fiber solutions center" says there is nothing they can do right now and that channel info for the .tv and Verizon channels might get added to online guides in a few MONTHS!?!?!?!?!?!?
    Why does this seem to be a problem with Verizon's lineup and no one else's?  When I had Dish, Zap2it would have updated listings within 2 hours of new channel additions.  When I had Charter, both Zap2it and Tivo had channel guide info for new channels usually the day BEFORE the channel was added.  But Verizon doesn't seem to provide Tribune with new channel info / guide data at all.
    Having had FIOS for less than two months, I'm not happy.  I'm almost certain the goal is for Verizon to get me to dump my lifetime Tivo service and instead pay them $15.99 for their DVR.  But trust me -- I'd rather go back to Charter first.

    I do not understand why you folks are blaming Verizon for this. Please give me a moment to explain my theory.
    First of all, I have been for a long time a very dissatisfied user of the FiOS Guide data. So dissatisfied that late last year I sent an email to Verizon's CEO expressing my dissatisfaction, and providing examples and pointers to various forum threads discussing the problem. I received maybe 4 or 5 phone calls about the issue, no resolution, but I was told the procedure for the FiOS Guide was this:
    Each channel (say ESPN, whatever) develops the data, and sends it to FYI Television of Grand Prairie, TX (in the DFW area). FYI gathers the schedule info from all of the channel providers and once a day sends that data to Verizon. Verizon then inputs the data to the Guide and bingo, we see it, good or bad (lots and lots of bad IMO). I have no way to know if this is really the process, but this is the way it was explained and it makes sense to me.
    Now, lets talk about one of the other guide providers for the Tivo or whatever. It seems to me that a very similar process would have to take place: channel to guide data collector to actual guide data provider (maybe the last two are one and the same?).
    Now, where would Verizon be in this process for the other guide data providers? Seems to me nowhere, it should be the responsibility of the channel to notify the data provider that the channel is now on FiOS, what the channel name and number is, etc.
    I am sure you will disagree with me, but where am I wrong? It seems to me you should be complaining to the channel providers, not Verizon.

  • Rear and center channels not working

    I just got a Griffin Fire Wave for my iMac and it works great when playing DVDs and such. But when I'm mixing in STP2 I pan the surround to the rear and I don't hear anything, I did a test to see if it exported in 5.1 and it did, I could hear all channels. But its frustrating not being able to monitor the
    Ls Rs and C channels. Any Ideas?

    Its definedly the soundcard which makes the funny noise, I just tested the outputs with headphones. Its really funny thing that center channel works perfectly if rear channel plug is disconnected, but you plug the rear channel plug it mixes up with the center channel also.
    I just want to be sure before I send it to supplier (warranty is still good), because if it works on their computer they will charge me for 50? for the checking.

  • Aperture, photoshop layers and Alpha channels - notes

    In examining Aperture 2.0 to see if I could use it instead of Adobe bridge in my workflow (which makes intense use of Photoshop) I found that Aperture (and, apparently, OS X) cannot properly display a preview for a .psd file with either layers or an alpha channel. In some cases, the preview image is simply an error message, in others the alpha channel is displayed as black. These problems make Aperture a non-starter for me.
    Searching this forum for information, solutions, and/or workarounds, I found some references, but nothing of high value. (Sorry, posters.) Started my own investigation, and discovered some things that might lead to a reasonable workaround. My notes are here:
    http://homepage.mac.com/bbarlow641/webinfonotebook/
    too long, I think, to put into a forum post. Sorry to link out to somewhere else, but if you're interested, it's worth a click. (Or the linked page may not have "high value" either. But it helped me to think through the problem.)

    Saving the file as a layered TIFF file would preserve the layers - that might be a good idea since Aperture doesn't recognize psb files. But any "saving as" step - as a psb or as a TIFF - creates a second (large) file, so I don't think it's an ideal solution.
    I don't know if that helps in your workflow, but the way I handle this is:
    • import the raw file into Aperture
    • open in external editor (i.e. PhotoShop; external editor format: tiff)
    • edit in PhotoShop
    • when saving I am asked if I want to save it as layered tiff (provided the preferences are set accordingly: File Handling / Ask before saving layered tiff files);
    • here two things are to be considered:
    _ the file extension used by PS is "tif", so it has to be changed to "tiff"
    _ on my MacBook Pro the Save As-dialog opens showing the correct file location (i.e., the correct subfolder inside the Aperture library), on my Mac Pro the initial location is somewhere else (remembered from the last saving procedure); I have to work around this by first command-clicking in the image window's title bar to open the edited file's location in the Finder, so that I can then drag it onto the Save As-dialog. This is actually slightly annoying, but I did not find out the reason so far.
    • Aperture automatically refreshes the saved file.
    This way I end up with just this one extra file. The whole procedure would be a bit simpler using referenced files instead of storing them in the library.
    My settings in PS do have the "Maximize Compatibility" option set (in the notebooked example, it's set to "ask", normally it's set to "always"). I'm using CS2. Maybe this setting works in CS3 to create the composite? I've heard several people here say that same thing, but it definitely doesn't do it for me...
    For me this works, and as far as I remember also worked in CS2; do you see a difference in file size between files saved both ways? How does Preview.app display the file saved with "Maximize Compatibility"?
    Since my first post, I've been trying to figure out how to add a PS action that would run an Applescript to tell GraphicConverter to open and close a file, creating a preview. But it seems that while an Applescript can trigger a Postscript action, the reverse (having a Postscript action trigger an Applescript) is not possible.
    Might something like a hot folder with an automator scripts attached to it be a possible workaround?

  • I have imported from Microsoft Internet Explorer favorites, cookies, history and they are not available after importing under the Bookmarks tab. How do I find the import of favorites in firefox?

    When importing from Microsoft Internet Explorer I have successfully completed and clicked on finish. I am not finding my favorites under the Bookmarks tab. I have shut down Firefox and and restarted the browser and still not finding favorites. I also restarted the computer still not finding favorites imported from Microsoft Internet Explorer. How can I find the data imported from Microsoft Internet Explorer?

    You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks).
    If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
    * Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
    * Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File
    See also:

  • How can I remove the cookies name from the sqlite file? The cookie names and content are to be out of sync and cookies can not be removed.

    Under Options-Privacy-Show Cookies I have a long list of entries. Remove Cookies or Remove All does not clear any cookie. Under Firefox profiles, I renamed the cookies.sqlite file and restarted Firefox. New cookies.sqlite file was created and the file size was reduced. Cookie content appears to be removed (i.e. site settings/logon info removed) but repeating the Options/Privacy/Show Cookies step still displays the older cookie names. I have tried all the different settings of clearing upon exit, clear recent history , etc but the result is the same.
    The cookie name can not be deleted. Selecting a cookie and trying to Remove Cookie just causes the highlighted selection to move to the next cookie entry. Haven't used a sqlite manager to examine the file content so I'm unsure what is in the sqlite file.

    Unfortunately, the option to remove that feature is not available.

  • JMS CC - administered and selected channels have not been stopped

    Hi Friends,
    We are unable to stop JMS CC. (It is already green, but it is throwing error) . (Error : JMS error occurred while processing message: 4bebe40f-e09e-658d-e100-00009958a87b. JMS provider gave error mesage as MQJMS1016: an internal error has occurred. Please contact your system administrator. Detail: java.lang.NullPointerException null, and error code as MQJMS1016.)
    That is Stop button is disabled in the CC Monitoring.
    When we do Multiple Selection On and click the Stop button, it is showing the message
    "1 of 1 administered and selected channels have not been stopped". 
    We have checked from the MQ team. (Websphere MQ). The queues are correct. No issues.
    We compared in PI side successfull CC and this CC whic is not stopped. Configuration are same except the queue name.
    Note that this problem is not coming for all JMS channels. Only for particular channels.
    Kindly clarify, friends. why we are unable to stop and start those CC.
    Kind regards,
    Jegathees P.

    Hi Shabarish,
    I found one thing. Those CC are controlled by Externally. So that Stop button is diabled. I don't know why they set External Control On.
    Then, I switched off External Control and started manually. It took very long time to do this. (??) Now, I am getting different error.
    Message processing failed. Cause: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: No transition found from state: STARTING, on event: process_commence for DFA:
    For this, I refereed the thread No transition found from state: STARTING.  They told that this is due of missing of some libraries.
    My doubt is if this is the problem, how other JMS receiver CC are working. 
    Can you kindly clarify.
    Kind regards,
    Jegathees P.

  • Cache, cookies and history are not clearing when I close Firefox even though they are set to do so and have been for ages

    I recently had an update (or upgrade?) for FF 16. Today (and I believe the update was done a day or two ago?) my cache, cookies and history are not clearing when I close FF. Also, certain links are not working. Not links for full web pages but for site pop-ups (like the smilie window on a message board). They worked a few days but are not working today. I click the link and nothing happens. I noticed the problem with the cookies not clearing for a few weeks ago but it was only on one site not all sites which is what's happening now.
    My apologies if that's a little confusing. Thanks!

    At any rate, have you tried running Firefox in Private Browsing mode? This will ensure that no infromation from your session is saved once you exit Private Browsing mode and/or exit Firefox.
    You can set Firefox to always start in Private Browsing mode: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/private-browsing-browse-web-without-saving-info#w_how-do-i-always-start-firefox-in-private-browsing
