I'm hoping the new SD Satellite graphics and the HD "Intellistar" (its not an actual IS though) will be released on June 2 as well

I hope the SD satellite remains as is. I've been so accomodated to it over the years.

Whenever TWC puts in something new, expect it to be crappy.

Well, considering the HD relaunch will likely be paired with new graphics, expect some sort of a graphics overhaul. Whether or not the format stays the same remains to be seen.

To anyone who has access to the HD feed, when they show special segments during normal programming, are they in HD? I'm talking about things like Epic Conditions segments, and newer Health and Weather Ready segments that appear in widescreen on the SD feed.

Wait, I saw TWC HD in Costco in DirecTV and during the OCM time, there is nothing, not even LDL or black bar. It's useless, except the graphics on the LF

How does that make it useless? It's nice to have a full view of TWC when you want it.

Good point Steve, instead it's usually good to see LDL w/ current conditions, forecasts, etc.

I'm not sure if it's been fixed yet, but there was a horrible audio problem earlier today where all full-controlled programming's audio was playing way too heavily through the right speaker. It created a very weird effect, to say the least.

What's wrong with the opaque LDL? I've always liked it since it premiered on the XL.
