I just saw my first advisory scroll on the IS2, a fire weather watch.
The text is much smaller than on any SD Star, but, since it's high definition, it's still easily readable.
The one thing I don't like is that it doesn't replace the LDL, but simply sits on top of it and cuts off the bottom section. (I can see clouds in the extended forecast but I don't know if there's any precipitation falling from them.) As much as I liked the larger LDL from 2 years ago, my one major complaint with it was that advisory scrolls cut off the bottom of those, too.

Ah, so you think differently about this now that you have the IS2, Eric? I remember a time when this "issue" with the advisory scroll wasn't so important to you (sorry, but I just had to call you out on it). :P
(from IntelliSTAR 2 Videos! thread)
Great videos, Mark! However, I notice a BIG problem: the warning crawl is covering up some of the information on the LDL. :thinking:
Comparing the HD and SD warning crawls, I think the HD is far less intrusive. As for "BIG problem," I think it qualifies as a minor inconvenience, not as a "BIG problem." Do you expect them to invest the time, effort, and money to completely reformat the LDL for a warning crawl which appears a small fraction of the total amount of time the LDL is shown?

But of course! I'm a man of many opinions, most of which contradict each other. :wacko:
