So I'm watching Weather Center earlier and Mike Seidel was using the chroma key wall, and I have video...

And now Steph is using the video wall with the cam zoomed in to make it full screen...

weird,
It's making me think something is wrong with the far right side of the video wall because they are only using the left and center parts, with the 16:9 maps unstretched...

Mike Seidel wasn't on Weather Center today, Carl and Betty were.

Thats possible. Either way I'd use the chroma key instead of the computer screen and use the 4:3 screens, It's more clear and honestly, looks better in my opinion.

I would change the lighting so they could use it consistently if they wanted to.

Is TWC HD working for you guys? Whenever I try to watch it in HD, the screen gets really messed up and distorted.

I'm watching it now in HD, and I don't see any problems.  Check your TV's settings to see if that helps.

I know that AT&T U-Verse does not have any star headends, but does this mean that they won't have an HD star on the TWC HD channel?  :dunno:
TWC in...
Lansing: Comcast, Channel 36, STAR ID 22840
E. Lansing: Comcast, Channel 40, STAR ID 22842

An HD star does not exist yet. But once the HD STAR begins its roll out, I highly doubt AT&T will receive them.

Right now in HD, you get satellite local forecasts.  They do look nice though, but I'm waiting to see a real HD Star.
