Taken after an airing of the Family Guy (season 3, episode 10, for those curious.) There was initially a localized CW ident following these, but has been omitted as that has already been uploaded: youtu.be/DuIOOQWhcd0
Recorded on February 11, 2020 near 7:30 PM CT using a GPX TVTR149B Digital TV Tuner + Recorder. The initial recording was a MPEG-2 video stream (.MTS) with stereo audio.

![Retro 8s Live / WeatherSTAR 4000 (style)- June 28, 2023 [partial recording/snippet]
From June 27 to November 3, 2023, The Weather Channel has seemingly decided to bring back its famous Weather STAR 4000 (more accurately, its visuals) for an hour-long week-morning (3 AM CT) broadcast consisting of nationwide local forecasts with smooth jazz. Some may say that this is almost just like the real thing, although if I had to be perfectly honest, nothing can beat the real thing.
About the only critism I have about this (other than the font being used, admittedly its pretty close to whatever the 4000 used back in the day.) is the lack of Current Conditions icons, as the only icon set that appears throughout (from the amount that Ive seen of this) is often associated with the Regional Conditions/Regional Forecast segments.
The content provided is owned by The Weather Channel / Weather Group LLC / Allen Media Group. I am not affiliated with either company, just a long time fan of things like these. On the other hand, the music seems to be sourced from Transition Music according to YouTubes Content ID.
Clipped around Cincinnati since a TCF recreation follows shortly and I wanted to provide some high quality footage of that. For the curious, the full hour has been re-uploaded by TWCZach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcH63awa5ow Retro 8s Live / WeatherSTAR 4000 (style)- June 28, 2023 [partial recording/snippet]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ngrzO93cu4A/mqdefault.jpg)

![Marcus Theatres Policy Trailer (2004/06, reconstruction w/ 5.1 audio)
I cropped the official YouTube upload of this (the original had black bars around it) and paired it up with a DTS 5.1 soundtrack (sourced from the Revenge of the Sith DTS trailer disc thanks to Niko Bellic.)
For the curious, this policy trailer/snipe was produced by Cinema Concepts. The same template would be re-used for both Krikorian Premiere Theatres [https://youtu.be/PLI8ffPRFuQ and https://youtu.be/CzReCTygU8k] and MJR Theatres [https://youtu.be/z8sD63wuZSw] respectively.

![Iowa State Required Monthly Test - February 7, 2024
[Happy 6 year anniversary to the very first (legitimate) Emergency Alert System capture I uploaded to any of my channels!: https://youtu.be/Q8FtbSFcPv8]
Local Emergency Alert System Test for the state of Iowa, issued February 7, 2024 at 2:55 AM CT (relayed at 2:59 AM).
0:04 - KGLI-FM (iHeart-affiliated Adult contemporary station; re-encoded with a Trilithic EASyPLUS decoder.)
A sight that should be expected for Emergency Alert System captures on my channels. Audio is particularly noisy as the antenna cant seem to pick up KGLI-FM very well without additional (USB) power.
0:48 - KCAU-DT (Nexstar-owned ABC affiliate)
For the first time in quite a while, KCAU got around to fixing their Emergency Alert System equipment, therefore now being able to relay this months test! It still needs a bit of work (the station audio heavily overlaps with the relay, as heard here.), but is a massive improvement from my previous captures.
Sorry, no KTIV capture this time around (which honestly would have brought this capture full-circle as they were the station I caught my first uploaded test from) as their EAS equipment doesnt seem to relay local tests anymore (likely a misconfiguration on their end, they were only able to relay the 2024 National Periodic Test as that was sent over IPAWS CAP and thats it.)

![MagicBox AlphaGen bulletin-board demo cycle (complete)
Complete cycle of a demo project from the MagicBox AlphaGen recorded to tape.
For those who may not be aware, the MagicBox AlphaGen was an Amiga 1200 housed in a rack mount case with special software provided by a CD to allow the client to generate digital signage. These units were most common particularly in cable TV providers for a community bulletin-board channel, hence the style of this demo. Some models also had image capture, which allowed importing pictures from (IBM) PC-formatted floppy disks onto its hard drive. If you are fairly interested and want a more detailed look into it, Id recommend checking out the Big Book of Amiga Hardwares write-up about it [ https://bigbookofamigahardware.com/bboah/product.aspx?id=45 ] or this video by BBISHOPPCMs World [ https://youtu.be/pQT8Pu0ksO0 ]. I have plans to also make a tutorial on how to emulate this using WinUAE some day in the future, so do be on the lookout for that.
There was initially music in the background, provided by my internet radio station, however considering the fact it was not only copyrighted, but that its claimant set it to block videos featuring the track in various international countries. Because of this, Ive decided to just reup it without any audio. You can check out the original version here: https://youtu.be/nRx7v1qeeHo
I am also testing uploading things in 720x480 again. If you prefer the original sizing over the stretched 4:3 versions, do let me know!
