Am I the only one are there others that don't like the "City by City side bar"?
I don't like it at all. It takes away the true HD viewing of the weather channel/studio.
Also with this side bar, the lower bar takes up lot of the screen, and now the viewing area is really crunched into a small picture... :-(
-
Please don't even get me started with that :censored:-ing thing. <_<
It really has ruined the true meaning of HD. :(
-
TWC HD isn't really HD anymore with the sidebar. I hate it <_<

Well, here's what it looks like on NFL Network. :offtopic:

Agreed <_<

There is plenty of space for a horizontal bar where TWC leaves a space for the ldl. Perhaps one day soon that will change

I know Tyler said awhile back that an HD LDL is in the works, which I'd assume would be an addition to the LDA. TWC is just trying to be like any other news channel, lots of data being presented at once :(
-
Good!!! I was worried that I was the ONLY one that hated it! LOL
I wonder if anyone from TWC is looking at this, or have had people calling in on this!? I have to admit, I don't watch the TWC as much since they throw all this crap on the screen. When it came on the air, I watched it non stop just to enjoy the weather in HD...

I Love that new bar, ever since it debuted i watched the weather channel more often! :thrilled: I wonder why they don't dhow the time any more, they should. By the way i like the bigger one better, besides they can just squish the veiw so it's still full. Saying that they should at all times show the big bar and in the vacant space to the left they should show the current conditions (and all the information on the "now" section there instead) much like weatherscan. So then they can place the time where the temperature was. :biggrin:
-
Well, Done I see the time is finally on there! I still think the view should be squeezed to size so that the big bar can be shown at all times, especially during programs. They should still think about my idea of putting the "now" section in that vacant space to the left where it can be just like weather scan. Think about my original idea even though i like how it is now. :biggrin:

Sounds like you were right after all. :itsok:

I really really hate it now! Ughh.. Now I have to buy a 100" TV and cover up the city by city to enjoy the show itself.
I watch it before I go to bed in our bedroom, and our TV is not huge, so now it's hard to see the map.
WHy don't they do the city by city like they do on the local on the 8? (directv)
-
I just did the the math, and the City by City side and bottom bar eats up 47% of full scree viewing! ughh!

Its a it annoying although you don't see too many anyway in the bottom area if they weren't covering it up

You....counted pixel for pixel?
-
Where did you get 47% from? I don't know about you, but on my HDTV, it is nowhere near 47% of the screen.
-
My grandparents have TWC HD on DirecTV, however, they do not have an HDTV. Therefore, TWC looks like crap, and the bars probably do take up 47% of the screen :P (maybe "Mayguy" is seeing TWC HD on a non-HD screen?)
-
By doing some math, I got 25% of the screen for the LDA w/o the LDL. Did 640÷853 (tuner aspects, not TV) and got .7502931, which rounds to 75%. Subtracted 75 from 100 and got my answer.
-
I hate it, especially since (I think) on weekends I notice it takes up MORE of my screen. Plus it's not helpful when you have a warning crawl ON TOP of the side bar so part of the conditions for your area are cut-off. :thumbdown: I liked the blue side-bar better. It was more with their color scheme and NEVER took up anymore than the warning crawl.

Ummm......I'm confused......
1. This is a TWC HD LDA topic. Not SD. HD can't display warnings (yet).......
2. The sidebar is still blue.......
3. And there was NEVER a sidebar on SD.
-
The LDA has been frozen on Chicago since the first hour of Weather Center earlier this morning. The subtle animations on the LDL are working, but that's about it. The five-day forecast still is showing Friday as the first day.
-
It's now frozen on Memphis, which is helpful to me. But.......they are showing the Kansas City, MO radar with a "Memphis" label on it.... :blink:
-
So the small LDA is/was screwed up, too? Did they fix it by the end of Weekend Now?

Yes and yes
-
The big LDA got fixed at the start of 6 PM ET PM Edition. When the LDA first came on, it was still frozen on Chicago, then it advanced to Cincinnati (with Memphis listed as the next city due up), and the data was still from Friday. Then it jumped to Memphis with live data, and everything was fine from there.

You couldnt tell he was mixing up the LDA and LDL terms

Hey guys, Sorry for not getting back to you. I threw away the paper that I did the math on. We do have HD TV, and now I see that TWC has stopped that so far.
(PS, I didn't get any e-mail notice on replies?)
