Via Splitsider, an examination of SnapStream, a video capture and search

[TV orNotTV] Another death close to me

2015-03-30 Thread Bob Jersey
No, not a person... more apropos to our group.

The colour in my bedroom TV expired early this morning (30).

It's not a huge headache, as dad and I have worked out the terms for the 
main set downstairs going forward, and of course the latter has far more 
channels with the box than the former without.

Still, it's bothersome not being able to discern, f'rinstance, whether the 
weather radar is showing rain, snow, or mixed precip. And, until the 
company kills analogue channels (this year, I still contend) I'm still able 
to program the VCR, albeit only with NCIS:Harmon for now.

And meanwhile, the big set is older (1984, at least) than the bedroom one 
(1988 or thereabouts... dad got it to put in a camping trailer he used to 
have, which came with a built-in antenna).

Correct, there was not a test in January.

Speculation is that it was delayed due to fallout from the Sony hack.

I choose to believe that Sony hacked **my** e-mail to find out exactly
when I would be going on my first real vacation in four years and timed it
appropriately.

I think I have to withdraw my assumption that it had been in the works for
a while. A Facebook friend who was in the studio for a taping more recently
says that she was told that the test is late because of the hacking of
parent company Sony Pictures. It does seem reasonable timing for the
December hack to impact the usual January test date.

There were a few reports on the unofficial Jeopardy! message board 
(jboard.tv) that some 2014 test-takers, who didn't get audition invitations in 
2014, were invited by phone call to 2015 auditions.

I wasn't one of those people -- I've taken the online test every year, but 
haven't been invited to an audition since 2010.

2015-03-30 Thread 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV
The official word is that you are in the pool for 18 months from your audition 
date.  Since my last audition was in late May of 2014, I would be in the pool 
through November of this year.  It sounds like David L.'s mom is in a similar 
situation.

I don't know how delays in a test date will affect audition dates.  The three 
times I've auditioned in Washington, D.C., the dates were in May and August.  
The test was in January each time, but I think it plausible that the Jeopardy! 
crew could be ready for May auditions even with an April test.
