Can anyone say HOLIDAY TRAVEL?



This new HD sidebar is basically a new bar of fail. :rolleyes:
I like this holiday travel bar better. It's way better than the 2008 ones.

oh indeed a much better bar/format...cleaner, better presented...I HATE THE NEW BLUE BAR OF DEATH!!!

I agree.

Is the Blue Bar of Death is the one from 2008?

IMO, it takes too much space on the screen.

I agree, but the 2008 Holiday bar is very annoying and it's blocks the lower screen IMO.

Are you serious? That bar gave me a headache, and it was useless on non-widescreen TV's because half the temperature data was cut off.

As for the new HD sidebar, that's retarded too. Part of the information on this is also cut off from the screen, and the feed doesn't seem to be in full 16:9 HD anymore either.

You got too much money on your hands. See, you don't hear me BSing about HDTV, cuz you know what I got? A old fashioned rollaway TV with a wood frame. I even use a cable descrambler back from when my family was living in Newfoundland.

Change my mind though. I agree with that. I've never like any bar TWC uses since the HD relaunch. I hope they don't appear on this upcoming Thanksgiving/holiday...but if they do...then I won't be watching TWC for these day. <_<

That 2007 bar (as well as the 2008 ones and the weather bar thing) also give me a headache...that's why I don't watch TWC when those stupid bars appear. The weather bar (which appear during serve weather and hurricanes) is SO f***ing stupid that I want them gone already later this year. It's have never grew on me...and I'll be watching TWC less for that if that appear...and it's ALWAYS pisses me off if is shown.  :thumbdown: That weather bar is the MAIN reason why I lost interset in TWC...because if I see it again, then it's need to f***ed up!  :censored: Damn weather/holiday bars. :furious:

HD sidebar and 16:9 are entities and ratios that leads me to believe you have high definition TV.

TWC showed a holiday travel bar for the past three seasons, so they will without a doubt show some kind of travel bar for this upcoming holiday season too.

I don't have HDTV, someone else posted a screenshot of the new HD side graphic a few posts before mine so I commented on that.

I don't recall seeing a holiday bar in 2006.
