Channel 1: The action starts 1 hour into the video at 10:22 AM. http://youtu.be/i_zxitKFqTk?t=1h (http://youtu.be/i_zxitKFqTk?t=1h) Channel 2 - Part 1: The action starts 1 hour, 27 minutes into the video at 10:22 AM. For some reason, the audio quit just minutes before banding. http://youtu.be/hLJ_bpwjbt8?t=1h27m32s (http://youtu.be/hLJ_bpwjbt8?t=1h27m32s) Channel 2 - Part 2: Channel 2 crashed during the banding and had to be restarted.
