Late today the size of the text for the LAS and traffic crawls was increased, as well as the speed decreased. :yes:

Yea, my guess is that the wonderful workers at my headend are either...

A ) playing World of Warcraft
B ) taking their sweet little time upgrading their IS software
C ) just not doing anything at all
D ) doing something special with the STAR system, or
E ) installing an HD STAR system

The options are ranked in order from most likely to least likely.
Just so you know, your headend has nothing to do with this upgrade, it is all done by TWC and sent out to every IS via Network Control.

The watch/warning/advisory ticker is still the version from the old LDL, as some of you have noticed.

I can confirm this with my cable company's IntelliStar (ID 22689).

They may or may not change it. They did not change the WeatherStar XL's watch/warning ticker.

In case anyone is wondering, here is how Tornado Watches look on the LDL:



This was after the old red crawl ran for ten minutes.

Worth noting, if a Severe T'Storm Watch is issued, the icon on the LDL tab is a small thunderbolt.

I haven't seen that yet. All I've seen is a continuous orange scroll telling me there's a T'Storm Watch.

You'll see what Billy posted after a while. :yes:

Also, looking at the pic, there is a small issue - the "ET" text is right next to the "weather.com" text on the logo.

The new LDL would have matched the IntelliStar much better if the text on the LF were to stay blue.

Dish has a different IS than DirecTV. It's possible they forget to update Dish's STAR, or Dish's STAR is going to receive a different update. :yes:

I thought they would be first since they have an agreement with TWC to bring local forecasts to their interactive channel
