WWJ DT3

Post by Splouge » Wed Sep 04, 2019 5:41 pm

62.3 is now on the air, but just a test pattern with scrolling pixel text saying "WWJ-TV DT3 DET" and it doesn't really scroll, it's more like the letters change positions really awkwardly. And sometimes the letters change, here are some examples

"WWWJ-TV DT3 DET"
"WWS-TV DT3 DET"
"WWJ-TV DJ3 DET"
"WWJ-TV DT3 EET"
"W3J-TV DT3 DET"

And this isn't an occassional screw-up, this is in the actual moving text loop!

The actual moving text now only says, repeatedly, WWJ-TV DT3 DET.
The scrambly text earlier was due to steps needed to program the scrolling message in the test generator.

It isn't fixed, still doing weird typos

I just saw what you're talking about with the cryptic characters. Perhaps someone was a bit sloppy with their typing and doesn't realize how to fix it. Whatever they're using to generate those graphics is a piece of crap though, as the crawl reminds me of when we tried to use a Commodore 64 for something similar back in the 80's!!

It's so simple, I have no idea how they screwed it up. The right side is fine but it messes with characters on the left. How do you even make a bad character generator? It's such a simple thing, you would think that they wouldn't make it a sloppy mess. It generates TEXT. How can it not even handle that?! It's almost as if it IS being operated by a C64!
