Aug 14 Packer Game

[Kenoman]

I don't see this game listed except in Green Bay. Are no local stations broadcasting the game?

tvguide.com says it's on WTMJ4

TitanTV and TV Guide is showing it's on 4, but they didn't get it to Tribune, which provides the Tivo and Windows Media Center listings. Guess someone at Journal who gives them the listings slipped up and forgot about the games.

Last year, all the preseason games looked pretty bad. PQ wise. Does anybody think it will be any better?

It's doubtful. They look like **** on the 720p networks because, well, 720p. As for Milwaukee's 1080i network affiliates, they're quite awful. CW18 was the only competent 1080i network affiliate in this market, broadcasting at 17+ Mbps... sadly, that storm recently took away that amazing quality from us...

Grrrr  ... TWC program guide has Gymnastics listed in that time slot.  I'm gonna be out of town but would really like to record the game.  I wonder what will happen if I set it up to record the Gymnastics?  Sure would be nice to be able to to a manual recording.  I'm gonna call TWC in the morning and give them some hell.

Yes,

Manual recording and Keyword Search are two features that I hope will be included in the next Guide update.  When you call about this, ask them to send a Guide Feature Request Ticket to the Engineering Department.  That should go to corporate, as they do all the software update stuff.

The Gymnastics example above explains why a Manual Recording Option is needed.  You could try to record the Gymnastics and add about 2 hours to the "Record Show With Options" for the end time.  If the game is on in place of the Gymnastics, you might get it.

I just spent a half hour, mostly on hold, with TWC.  They insist that the game is on CBS because that's what packers.com says.  And it will be on CBS - in Green Bay!!!

WTMJ's website shows they will be broadcasting the game.

I was told there was nothing that they can do about it now and I should see if it shows up on Thursday.  I'm thinking it shouldn't be a problem for me to set up the recording from my window seat on the airplane, or not.  

I'm gonna call again tomorrow morning if it's not fixed.  I will make sure to have them open a Guide Feature Request Ticket.  Thanks, Jack.

Really I'm at the end of my rope with TWC, looking like it's time to make the switch to dish.
