So it's basically the SD DirecTV LF with a new background?

This is what I consider half-ass work, the background doesn't even match imo. :no:

It's a half-assed job indeed. I'd rather wait a while to see a good product come out, rather than seen a cheaply put product out in a hurry

Okay then. it's like cutting out the SD forecast with scissors and pasting it in a new background with glue. And yet, it's still crap! Even worse than what I have right now.:no:

That background is the same one used for local forecasts on cable in HD.

1. They may of been waiting for the weather star HD to be at there headend.

2. This a just a test and they just reused the old one with a new HD coming soon.

3. A full HD one will come with the HD gui and or the NEW direct tv tivo HD.

To me right now it doesn't matter. It's about time! Over 10 years we've been waiting for a local forecast on DirecTV!

You all do remember this is running on a  satellite box right? I imagine just doing this is about maxing out the box as it is. Better than nothing I would say. Perhaps if the companies who make these boxes finally upgrade the specs you can get something better in the future.
