Has anyone ever seen a 1 min LF end w/ the metro map on the IS before? I ran across this video today and it seems really odd.  :noexpression:

It makes sense, actually. A 1 page bulletin and the appearance of the local radar is enough for the :59 one minute flavor to not show the week ahead (and thus end with the text based). So, I'm not surprised a 2 page bulletin (which I still have yet to see) and the local radar made that LF end with a metro forecast. Haven't seen that here though.

So my Intellistar froze and aborted mid-LF again this morning. Odd how it's doing that all of a sudden, even though it is sporadic. I'm also noticing constant static pops with the audio.

The "buzzing" as we call it. That's something that has existed for all istars since day one.

I seemed to think that was only my Intellistar, but I guess I didn't realize what it was. Speaking of audio errors, my Intellistar just had another skipping episode, and this time, it couldn't even narrate the week ahead.

EDIT: more popping today. Must be a midday through early afternoon thing.

Might only be used if only that traffic product is available.

Flow and incident narration was disabled shortly after the overview maps were introduced. They were put back in place in markets where the overview maps were removed.  Now that the overview maps are gone, I wouldn't be surprised to see the narration for incidents and flow come back.

At about 4 AM this morning, due to my DirecTV receiver updating, the LF app cued 30 seconds late.
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

The issue was a change on TrafficPulse's side, and can't be changed.

Does the Weather Bulletins screen not show during one-minute IntelliStar flavors anymore? I've been under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for over an hour now, and the Weather Bulletins screen has been missing from all three one-minute LFs thus far. It has been present on the LDL, however.

Edit: No Weather Bulletins on the two-minute LF at 4:08 PM ET. Also, the lightning bolt for the watch tab is missing after the first time the LDL cycles through the watch (I believe this is already documented).

Edit: The Bulletins screen showed at 4:18 PM ET.

I've always had that problem where watches wouldn't display on the bulletin until as long as two hours after the watch was issued.
