I'm pulling an all-nighter and hopefully going to bed after the first hour of YWT. Then I'll wake up in the mid-afternoon hours and get ready for the EE HD launch. :P

Same here.  I'm afraid to go to sleep because everytime I say I'm going to wake up early, I end up waking up late.  By hours.   :whistling:

I wonder if anymore updates for the SD Satellite will take effect

Yes Victor, they're going to completely redesign the SD Satellite LF again even though they already did last week. :P

You hit the nail on the head. I hear it's gonna look something like this:



:P


That's exactly what it's going to look like.   :rofl2:

Not only will I find drinks with a lot of caffeine, I'll also watch videos on YouTube and keep clicking "Random Article" on Wikipedia.  All of this for 6 hours, 25 minutes, and 4 seconds.

The HD feed just crashed hard during the LF at 2:29 CT. The SD feed was displaying the emergency feed at the same time, but the HD feed only aired a black screen with LF music from the playlist cutting in and out. Even when WWCH returned on the SD feed, the HD feed was still nothing but a black screen and choppy audio. They better work hard to make sure nothing like this happens for YWT or EE. Talk about disaster if that were to happen!

I'm watching First Outlook.  I don't normally stay up this late, so I don't know if these have been around for a while or if they are just being added today, but they're using a new font on Skytracker and they have also added new HD graphics.

The new maps must be hard to point at or something.  Heather seemed to be pointing at all the wrong places when she was presenting the forecast for "areas like Minneapolis, Chicago, and Indianapolis" at the beginning of YWT.  I don't know if she was actually pointing to them or what... but it was odd.

Jim said to expect that at first. The wall is a little bit away from the OCMs.

Makes sense.  I know I wouldn't want to look straight at the wall.

I am way excited about the future of TWC, when ALL shows go Hi-Def.  But, I am kind of glad all of the shows are getting graphics.  I only expected Evening Edition, and Your Weather Today to change their graphics today, and I was more than surprised to see the new LDL today.  I didn't expect it to go national til later this year.
