Thats nothing!

My cable provider shows on channel 144 (which my cable shouldn't go up to, my cable only *goes* up to 99) shows how much bandwitch every user is my neighborhood is using if they have cable online access.

Its so sad, I saw the monitoring crash once.

I've seen stuff like that. It's truly an embarrassment, and looks completely unprofessional.

But hey, if they want to lose viewers, it's fine with me. Only the healthy, or heavily funded programs survive, and seeing as there is a windows error message broadcasting, they are a bit on the 'cheap' side...

[mikeyredk]

found it should be up on spymac soon

This is really familiar. The digital displays for bus schedules at one of the busiest hubs in my city has been stuck on a BSOD for a month now!

Yeah the 'TV guide channel' has had technical difficulties a number of times, and there is always that common windows background with the clouds.

[mikeyredk]

i don't get the tvguide channel the cable is a rider for my cable modem

[johnnowak]

I had something similiar out here two days ago in New York on the preview channel.

[Kwyjibo]

how odd, i have Directv and enjoy the fact that the guide is built into the system and no a specific channel.You can also select what plays in the little box and scroll yourself as opposed to our old cable where you had to watch dumb commercials and sit there for 10 minutes.

My cable is like that. When I go to a hotel (that has cable) I hate watching the TV guide channel. IT just goes so slow...... Back on topic: That is pretty funny that windows crashed on TV. Glad you got a picture of it for us to enjoy.

The local UPN affiliate does that on a fairly regular basis. Also on a lot of ad breaks they will have a 60 second pause with a test signal and flashing text that says "Initiate Satellite Feed Now."

I guess that's just UPN for you :rolleyes:

Hehe, Viacom.

Gotta love that channel, soon I hope they can't pay for the shows they put on and are forced to sell the channel... it is so baad...

I've seen both windows and the program itself crash on cable... Sometimes the show or slideshow or whatever (mostly the TV-guide channel) disappears in favor of a cursor frantically changing system settings and rebooting windows...

it's scarier when you see ATMs, i hear some early voting machines had the problem (they're supposedly more secure now... which is to say, a child could tamper with the results), kiosks (like photo booths, i've heard DMV kiosks, palm download stations)... all blue-screen of death. Makes you wonder how much revenue is lost yearly to the blue screen going for hours or days un-caught by employees...

On a somewhat related note, I heard another story about someone being endangered by the Windows CE based BMW, it shut down and locked everything tight, disabled the electrical system, for some diplomat... he was trapped until a passer-by smashed in a window and manually freed him...

I just know BMW is going to kill the line because of all the problems, I wish i could be the one to show the OS X... If they worked with Apple on a lite version of X (which I still think is a good idea), it would be super-stable and would be a great first step for Apple into the world of imbedded OS's...

Haha, right now, for my area all non-'channels' have an error.

Cablevision, i love you guys... :p

There is a cursor in the middle of the screen and the box says 'playerstartup'

On the botton left I can see a folder called (first part is cut off) '2000 PCI'

There is a 2 in grey colors in the bottom right...

haha and it definattly is windows.

[jbomber]

that's so weak....
