IntelliStar Changes

[Mike M]

A better way to do this IMO would be to either take the local info off the LDL during the 7 day and display the text there, or take the LDL away altogether and display the text more central to the bottom of the 7 day and the bottom of the screen. That would make it less cluttered.

I like your first idea best. Or, just put the ad on the ad crawl or upper right corner where it belongs.

I wonder if the STAR Team would take requests on the subject...

No. That would fall under public relations' hands.

I don't like it, but I don't have the intellistar, so I can't really complain about it.

[beanboy89]

I don't really have a problem with it.

[Tyler]

I wouldn't bet my XL on that...lol.

I will admit it's pretty unnecessary. As said before, it would be much better to be short and sweet--"Additional forecast at weather.com." But NBC felt it was necessary, and we'll just have to deal it.

I am very sick of hearing every change blamed on NBC. It's gotten very old, everyone.

Thank you... NBC has owned TWC for three years now so I think we can give that all a break already. Also NBC doesn't make every single little change you see on air.

Yes thats very true. It's quite easy to blame NBC over something we don't like about TWC and that really isn't fair.

There's no reason to start a blame game when we don't know any of the facts.  Can I make a request on behalf of everyone and ask to not blame or mention NBC for anything unless it's proven through hard evidence that they were really involved?  After all, TWC is a company in its own right that can do whatever it wants whether we like it or not.

I can confirm the Marine/Tides STARs here use the daypart again with the change, but why is the getaway still being shown?

Hopefully this isn't the only change throughout the whole year.

The getaway has lost some priority, but hasn't been completely canned yet. From what I hear, however, it's days are numbered.

[Mike M]

Have the regional forecast maps been removed also?

Nope, I saw one today.

There are also weather-triggered statements that can appear in the 7 day. Here are examples on the SD and HD STARs:

Outta curiosity, will the getaway segment be discontinued too on the DirecTV LF app if you know?

I think that's an interesting feature. It makes me think of it as a weather bulletin, but instead of being alerted on an issued watch/warning/advisory, you're being warned on specific upcoming severe weather.
