I like that.  IMO, it's easier to read with that blue background.   :yes:

looks like Dish has cropped out the part of the HD feed to remove the extra stuff like the "Today's Top Stories thing and the extra info like Hail reports, weekend getaways and others stuff that you would see on the right side of the screen

I'm staying at a hotel with Dish, and the HD Feed still has the sidebar.

I can't believe it!   

As of yesterday, my cable company FINALLY upgraded to the IS2 (or Jr).... No more Alan Jackson narration.   And we have TWC in HD!
My cable company is very small, only serving 4 towns in rural Vermont.  They aren't known for upgrading Weatherstar units quickly.  We had the 3000 up until the late 1990s, then went to the IS.  So there MUST be some truth to the retiring of IS units this fall if this happened.

Of course today the local forecast (and LDL) is out and are just getting the national feed.

Cox New Orleans now letterboxing HD on the SD channel.  Not sure if it's the existing IS2 or if they got an IS2 XD unit.

My IntelliSTAR unit have changed. I notice that last night when the ldl bar looks kinda different. I'll send the video's later on today. Now we're hearing Jim Cantore's voice now.

What you have now is the IntelliSTAR 2 Jr, which uses Cantore's narrations. My cable headend still has the IS1 which uses Allen Jackson's narrations.
