This must be apart of those errors that come with the launch, but I noticed there's no weather bulletin displaying yet even though were under a Freeze Warning and Wind Advisory. I haven't seen a crawl either. :no:

So far, I am liking the new look. However, I do have DirecTV and the LF look is the same as before.

BTW, some of yall are mighty impatient. There are glitches and adjustments to be made as the day progresses. Relax.

It looks amazing! :D I like it, it's fresh. My Intellistar hasn't gone down yet. (knock on wood) I really like the uniformity that TWC finally has.

Finally had a chance to watch some of the HD Star in action, and it looks great.  It did have a hiccup where the LDL went national out of a LOT8 that ended a few seconds early, and when it came back from commercial, only the right side of the L-Bar was local.  Righted itself with the next LOT8s.

The IS2 is also mentioning the wind warning in effect tonight, and still has Cantore narration.

Went back and watched my DVR recording, and the IS2 was ready at 3am - though there was some trigger issues (and a possible reboot).

Ok so now my final verdict on the new look! I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like t a lot! The new IS and IS2 look awesome! By any chance does anyone know the name of the song that they keep playing over and over again during the LOT8's? I kinda like it. I also like it when the LOT8's first starts it says Good Morning and then something a little funny. Good job TWC!!!!! Well Done!!!!  :clap:

Okay, now that I'm home, I can say that the national feed doesn't look too bad either.

And Martin, you might want to tell the folks at TWC that the DirecTV's IntelliStar (and probably DISH's IntelliStar as well) are displaying the IS-generated clock on the LDL, when I don't think they're supposed to be. The one for DirecTV is stuck on pacific time and I'm sure the one on DISH is stuck on mountain time, and it's being overlayed atop the national clock that cycles through the timezones properly.

It's part of their new sonic brand-most likely generated exclusively for them by ManMade Music.

Why are some people saying its letterboxed?  The DISH SD channel is not letterboxed shouldn't all SD feeds be the same way?

It depends on the cable company.  My cable company replaced the SD feed with the IS with a letterboxed version of the HD feed with the IS2 a few months ago.

There's nothing wrong with the clock on DISH
