Hey Titans!
Our February 10 deadline to vote on March movies is rapidly approaching! We’ve been checking in with our representative at Swank Motion Pictures and we found out that licensing is unavailable for 500 Days of Summer, Fight Club, The Proposal, and Coco Before Chanel. If you want to see which new releases are available, check out the Residence Life Cinema website and keep sharing your ideas on Titan TV’s facebook page!
Hey Titans!
We’re going to try a new way of selecting our March movies by having YOU give us your input! Post the title of a movie you want to see on our facebook page. To support someone else’s suggestion, just click ‘Like’ on their post. The deadline for ideas will be noon on Wednesday, February 10 and the most liked titles will become part of our March lineup!
Want your choice to come out on top? Invite your IWU friends to ‘like’ your suggestion and it might just end up on the air in March! If you have any questions, contact us at titantv@iwu.edu!
Happy picking!
If you check channel 5 either on your cable TV on campus or in the online schedule, you’ll notice it currently isn’t showing any movies. After I restarted the Digital Media Player for Channel 5 yesterday to load Titan TV’s movies for January, the Swank Motion Pictures Player started encountering errors each time it tried to open. I (along with Steve Lessaris and Michael Gorman) spoke on the phone today with John from Swank and he’s sending us a CD with a software update overnight. In the mean time, we’ll continue with our programming on channel 4.
Look for these movies playing on Titan TV throughout the month of January:
Remember, you can always check online to see what’s playing on channels 4 and 5!
Hey all.
Something went wrong with our movie provider and we still have yet to receive the movies for March. You may notice that channel four still works (as much as it ever has) and channel five does not. That, as the avid reader would recall, is because channel five works on an all-digital format that stops letting us show movies the moment our license expires (as it did at the end of February).
According to the Media Commissioner, Scott, he has placed the order for this month several times, but has yet to even receive a confirmation from the provider. He is working diligently trying to resolve this issue and in the mean time please excuse the annoyance.
On a slightly different note, we received the second digital media player from our provider a couple of weeks ago. The reason channel four isn’t digital yet? The hard drive bay is too small to fit the hard drives our provider sends us. Scott says that he contacted them about this issue and they don’t believe us (they think we’re making a mistake). On the plus side, when we get the March movies, we’ll be able to call them as soon as we find that the new hard drive doesn’t fit, either, and they said they can be here within three hours, any day of the week, to help us fix the problem. We’ll see.
If you see channel four misbehaving, as always, PLEASE email us (titantv@iwu.edu) so we know to fix the problem. As you know, we can’t watch 24/7, so adding your eyes and ears to our own is really, really useful.
Michael
Hey, all.
We just wanted to let you know that, after a few small technical difficulties getting to know our new programming system and streamlining our update process, we have our new schedule up and running on channels four and five. You can find the most current copy of our schedule here on our blog. Check it out.
If you have any questions, comments, ideas, suggestions, or anything else, you can get in touch with the Titan TV Managers by emailing us at titantv@iwu.edu. Also, if you have any ideas regarding how we can best let you know of our new schedules, send us those ideas here.
Well, now that we have apologized about the lateness of our new movies, we have new movies up. Enjoy!
(As always, email us at titantv@iwu.edu with any questions, concerns, comments, or suggestions.)

A lot of people have been asking about when the movies will be changed next. The answer is that we are working on it and it will happen as soon as possible.
See, the way the movie-ordering process works is that we at Titan TV tell the Student Senate Media Commissioner of any movie suggestions we have received and any suggestions we have ourselves. Then, the Media Commissioner (being the nice guy he is) orders the movies from our supplier. He needs to do that for us because he is able to sign for funding, whereas we are not.
This month, because of the May Term Break with exams right before it, things ended up not working quite as well as they usually do. We didn’t get any viable suggestions for movies last month (the few that we did receive were not on the list our supplier gives us of movies they have, sadly enough), and we didn’t have any suggestions ourselves. So, we didn’thave anything to tell the Student Senate Media Commissioner. This has happened before. When it does happen, he usually just goes ahead on his own and orders whatever movies he can think of.
This time, though, because of the Break and exams, things fell through a little. We’re about to get new movies up, but we just don’t know exactly when quite yet. We’ll let you know as soon as we have them up, of course.
Several people have asked us recently how they can find the current schedule for Titan TV. We have a link to it in our Blogroll (at the side of the main page) now because of this uncertainty. You can also find the most recent schedule blog entry by clicking Program Schedule under Categories at the side of most of these pages. We realize that this can be confusing, but we (as sad as this may be) did not design this blog layout. We just use it.
As always, if you have any questions or comments about anything relating in the slightest manner to Titan TV, please let us know at titantv@iwu.edu or by talking to anyone you recognize from the station in person. We’re always glad to help.
Due to a miscommunication with the organization from which we receive our movies, we had to wait to put up our new movies until today. We have asked this organization to work harder to get us our movies on time in the future and they seem ready and willing to do so.
That said, we are pleased to announce our new movie schedule for the month of April. We have prepared a webpage that will always provide the most up-to-date schedule online of any service. Of course, when we make big changes to our schedule, we will try to keep you as updated via our blog as possible. So, below is the same schedule we just posted on the page referenced above.
