![Electronic Program Guide (EPG) - April 10, 1995 (mirror)
[original uploader unknown. Published on an unknown date.]
Very brief clip of the Electronic Program Guide post-Prevue Channel rebrand. Additional credits to nwgatwcfan.
Judging from the original filename, this seems to have been uploaded to YouTube previously at some point in time, however no longer exists (any search of the filename resulted in other EPG/Prevue clips showing up.)
As of uploading this clip, two new clips from this cable provider have been uploaded by Vances Media Treasures, one with the Electronic Program Guide software but with an overlay covering most of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7QdIMyOmIg - and a clip after they had switched to the Zap2it/OnCable scrolling guide software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pddXDOcA2ek

![THX Cimarron (1988, original audio mix w/ 5.1 reconstruction)
[UPDATE 6/27/26: seems the actual 6ch mix has finally been found, courtesy of some folks over on TheStarWarsTrilogy.com forums: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7hxxS7FmDw]
The rarely known original mix of the THX Cimarron trailer, in all of its high fidelity glory, has been uncovered again, now with a proper audio scan compared to the commonly known camcorder and microcassette recordings.
I used FFmpegs surround filter to translate the 2ch matrixed Dolby SR track into discrete-ish 5.1 tracks (Dolby Stereo is not discrete, so it wont be as accurate to the actual 6ch mix), then I used Audacity to clean it up, including reducing noise (it was initially transferred from an optical track, what else do you expect) and removing most of the pops (a mix of Click Removal and manual spectral edits for the harder-to-detect parts.)
There were a few things I could not fix, particularly the overmodulation at the beginning of the wormhole sequence (it can be heard in that one Film 90 clip, so presumably that mightve affected all 35mm prints of this) and cleaning up the visuals (too time consuming of a task for me to attempt, plus YouTubes video compression might unintentionally help it out a little bit.)
And of course, a huge thanks to Sebastian Segura for the original upload: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SQfAxhOyBA

EDIT: Any comments harrassing FT Depot will be removed. At least they made yall aware of this mixs existence and that there are copies of it floating around circles, you dont gotta be so rude.

![Iowa State Required Monthly Test(s) - June 2, 2021
First time Ive captured more than one station in a while. Three different messages are seen in this video:
- Trilithic EASyPLUS [recorded using a GV-USB2]
Captured through VHS, nothing different than the previous recording.
- KPTH-DT1 (FOX) [recorded using a WinTV HVR-850 and XP Media Center 2005]
First time using my Gateway machine for ATSC capture. Its a buggy mess (I kept encountering Video error on most of the channels I could receive) however I guess it works for the most part. For this comp., I am temporarily using my HVR-850 USB tuner until I can get my hands on a HVR-1290 card. (mission accomplished as of late-2021)
Funnily enough, this was also the first recording in my collection featuring KPTHs new ticker animation, presumably based on their School Closings ticker.
- KTIV-DT1 (NBC) [recorded using Locast and OBS Screen Capture]
I dont have a functional DIRECTV box anymore (that my capture device nor any HDMI device can recognize) so I had to record directly from Locast. Not proud of how it came out, but what else could I do? I had also planned to record KTIVs Ion affiliate, but for whatever reason they never activated whatsoever, not even after a delay.
All three were recorded on June 2, 2021 at about 3am Central Time. Iowa State Required Monthly Test(s) - June 2, 2021](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6Cv_mCoNtH8/mqdefault.jpg)
![Emergency Alert Channel (unknown year, HQ capture)
[4/19/23; 4:15 PM edit: the character generator seems to have been identified as a Video Messenger VM-3 character generator: cg-wiki.org/video_messenger_company/vm3]
[10:16 PM edit: Looks like Im not the only one to have re-uploaded this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laYxtqa9Mn0. I guess it doesnt hurt to have mulitple re-uploads, (in the event one of them goes down.) right?]
Original uploader was @Funnieo (who seemingly has re-uploaded themselves as of 6/6/23) Prior, all that I knew was that although it wasnt the only upload of this channel (Cal M uploaded a camera recording of it in 2015: https://youtu.be/VviApe4IRiU), it was probably the best quality upload of it as it was captured directly from the source.
As for character generator, it reminds me of a Video Data Systems character generator, however someone pointed out that this was a Trilithic PMBDX1, a character that I had never heard of prior to discovering the original camera recording. (Google has no results for it neither does Trilithics archived website from 2009, when it was rumored to have been released.) As of April 19, 2023, it seems to be a Video Messenger VM-3 going from various screenshots in its manual which use the same font as the one shown here.
If you happen to know more about this, let me know.
[original description read as follows: I recorded this with my Coaxial Cable wire. And i also remember having this channel with my Xfinity Digital Adapter. and the channel number was 29-12 for the Coaxial Cable, and 1999 for Xfinity.] Emergency Alert Channel (unknown year, HQ capture)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/6aXTicxmAWk/mqdefault.jpg)
