I wonder how many members are really anticipating a new playlist  :bleh:
I am definitely! It should start by 5:08 (or 5:28 if longform airs). In the past 2 playlists, they would start on the first Tuesday of every other month, at the beginning of Primetime.

I guess we'll find out in the next 10 minutes.

Considering the July Playlist Started on the 5th i won't be surprised if the September airs between today and friday.

I gotta confess, but I will miss the July playlist if the September one rolls around... i liked it and was a complete turnaround from May/Junes list and it actually had uplifting Boney James songs  :)
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

Hmm, I guess that TWC let the playlist start at 5:28 in case there was longform.

Hopefully whenever the next playlist starts, TWC will continue this trend of jazzy primetimes, as it has since Irene. Horizon and She Loves the Water sound good in primetime.  ;)

I was watching a live TWC stream from PA on my sis' TV via Justin.tv on her Roku box, and I saw what looked like a graphics-updated WeatherStar XL. Can anyone tell me if this is real or if this is an emulator?

Wow - this is very interesting!

On the one hand, I'd want to say it's an emulator that combines the look of the XL with the new SD satellite local forecast backgrounds, but it almost seems "too perfect."  The weather information is accurate and everything appears as it should.

Are there any other screenshots or videos available?  I guess, in the absence of someone coming forward to say that it's an emulator that he/she made, we'll just have to wait and see what our XL viewers in the forum say about what they observe happening to their local Stars.

And, of course, this raises the question... if this IS real, will the Intellistar soon be updated to match this background, too, thus providing a constant and similar look across three platforms?

Ah OK then. I wonder how they were able to get the emulator to run simultaneously with the LF while streaming the TWC feed live on JTV    :thinking:
