At 3:28pm EDT on April 17, I observed this:



Looks like a full screen satellite LF but my head-end for some reason cued up an L bar forecast.  But it gets stranger, as seen in this video:

At :28, the satellite forecast compresses into the "viewing area" and an L bar satellite forecast appears and continues briefly into the intro to the 3:30 episode of Storm Riders.

The satellite LF uses different graphics now. The pic you took is the L-bar cuing over the emergency feed, which still uses the old SLF graphics.

I'm assuming you haven't watched TWC in a while?  :unsure:

Not sure if this counts, but my IS cued late at 6:58 PM yesterday, showing part of the satellite LF before it.

After the local insert, the LF bumper and LF failed to cue, along with the STARs. The Emergency Feed was cued for about 15 seconds, and then was cut short by the end of the Satellite Forecast. This occurred at 2:18 PM ET.

The IS failed to cue at 8:38 AM CT, and the national LDL was shown afterwards.

*Bump*

At 4:53PM PT my IS's LDL failed to cue during WCL, and the IS itself failed to cue as well 5 minutes later.

7:18 PM CT - XL failed to cue. Haven't watched TWC in forever, quite unimpressed by the changes...

Satellite LF at 1:58 AM ET.

Wow, it feels weird posting about this. Haven't watched TWC in a while, especially enough to not see a STAR cue.
My super-awesome website!
