You would shit your pants if you ever got inside the broadcast/technical ops center we're building for all 3 networks right now, every day is like going to B&H or Harveys!

TV Broadcast Ops/IT, which in the next 5 years will all be IT, broadcast operations is about 10 year behind IT in technology.

Ah, you are the one who gets pages at all hours of the night and gets OVERTIME to fix stuff!

We are running a decent touch-screen based program for audio here, and our IT guys have more to do with day-to-day ops now than our engineers do. Soldering skills are about equal between the two Everything is on hard drive and can go full-auto if necessary. Still not as many pretty lights as a TV control room, though.

We're going to be the first network that does both long and short form to go completely digital from ingest to on-air. no network with our format has done it yet, so we'll either be the mac daddy latest greatest technology network(s) come march or we'll go black and I'll be asking everyone if they want fries with that... .

btw- we have no unions and no hourly people, everyone is salaried so no OT and no unions (thank god), BUT, yeah, we have a massive monitoring system for not only IT systems but for the on-air stuff as well, and plenty - PLENTY of backup systems, so when something blows, my bberry goes nuts.

I really wish we'd start to see some more HD channels!
What's this and where do I get it? I still wonder whether my TV is set up properly or not. What's the best way to find out? I had not professional install. I picked up the TV, plugged in the cable box, and turned it on. It looks great, but I wonder if it's correct.

Rent a movie with THX and use the THX optimizer that is included with every THX DVD movie. That's all I did.

Here is a link to DVE at Amazon LINK
