What channel is this on in the Buffalo area?

[Mark L. Ford]

If you've got Time-Warner Cable --- I don't -- it's on the Time-Warner Sports Channel. I imagine that it will end up on DVD, though it might be for a pretty penny.

[JeffreyMiller]

In Buffalo, it's on Time Warner Sports, channel 52.

Has anyone been watching?

[ChrisBabcock]

DVR-ing it as we speak... er... type. Hope to watch it over the weekend.

[ChrisBabcock]

Finally finished watching it. Very well done! My wife even watched most of it and enjoyed it. My only complaint I wish it could have been a bit longer and more fleshed out. Also, Mr. Miller I had no idea you had a cameo. Bravo!

[JeffreyMiller]

Yeah, I got four spots, which was nice. That was distilled from a 90-minute interview!! Still, I think they did a fabulous job and I am very proud to have been a part of it. Congratulations to Chris Willis for his starring role, and to John Steffenhagen for representing the Rochester Jeffersons so well.

Hope it comes out in DVD form someday. I have a DVR copy with all the commercials and everything included ... have to update my editor to make a nice clean copy.

Any update or news on whether or not this will be released on DVD?

[JeffreyMiller]

My understanding is that this will not be available on DVD anytime soon. Don't know why. Although they won't make a killing in DVD sales, it still has a market and would sell enough to at least allow them to break even (I would think).
