Title: Before the IS, there was the XL.. but..
Post by: wxmancanada on August 05, 2007, 02:32:27 PM: Okay, so before the IS, there was the XL.. When Dish and DirecTV got the IS LDL, did they have any sort of LDL before that? Satellite XL LDL?

I don't think there was - I believe they only started those LDLs when the IS came out.

Whats a LDL?
Lower Display Line, aka the black bar.

Everyone used to call it Black Bar, until TWC corrected us.

Post by: G2003 on August 05, 2007, 04:36:03 PM: I guess if you were talking about the real black bar, it would be okay. But in terms of the Jr, 4000, and XL, they arent black! :lol:

Post by: lfmusiclover on August 05, 2007, 04:37:28 PM: Eh, still. Unless your totally retarded you should know what we're talking about.

Post by: chris9277 on August 05, 2007, 10:29:49 PM: XL is now black on national programming from what i believe. LDL is a better name, anyway.

Post by: lfmusiclover on August 05, 2007, 10:54:04 PM: No, the XL bar is not black. It is, and always has been, transparent.

Wrong. In September 2003, the XL was given the "black bar" LDL during national broadcasts.

Post by: Concentric Eyewall on August 05, 2007, 11:25:35 PM: Eh, just give the 4000 the black bar LDL and slap on the new TWC logo on the 4000's local forecasts, and vuala, an upgrade! Just be sure to replace all the equipment :-\

Post by: lfmusiclover on August 05, 2007, 11:57:39 PM: Like I said, just some minor rewording. I was afraid I would come across sounding nasty the way I originally had it. :D 8)
