Crew Call - Rolling Back the Years, Pt. 1 - NEW

“Crew Call” is a new TrainMasters TV series on operation.  As a ten-year old growing up in a railway town, Bob Fallowfield could often be found down by the tracks.  When it came time to build a railroad in his own basement, there was no question in his mind about what he would model.  He takes us on a tour of his “stomping grounds” and relates how railroading in the 1980s influences operations on the layout he is building today.   Part 1 of 2.

What the "h" is this?

As a frequent watcher of both TMTV  and  MRvid Plus,  their has been a change recently in the video display tool used on MRvid Plus.  When viewing MRvid plus the video starts with a "h" in center screen. After starting playback the video is definitely not HD.   I am not seeing the same issue with TMTV as videos are still HD.  I'm using FireFox browser.   I'm hoping this does not affect TMTV as well.  Does anyone know what this video display format is ?
