Just made a really interesting find:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ7pGVWWEtU#ws-hd

An XL from Clovis, NM. Check out the Current Conditions... "Blowing Dust" with the Partly Cloudy icon and no Current Conditions narration. B)


I wonder how the XL takes up the whole screen like that...I didn't think XLs broadcast in HD. :unsure:

It's because the camera that was used to record it recorded it in HD. ;)
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

That's a 4:3 SD picture stretched to 16:9 on the HDTV. It'd not HD.

That's actually probably from Andrews, TX seeing how that's the forecast city. BTW, how did you know about Silicondust? I've known that site for months but didn't know anyone else here did.

It became the subject of discussion in Martin's stream channel.

Type in the zip. Not all areas have TWC, my area didn't have TWC recognized. :(

I think I have an idea as to what happened.......

It seems to me as though the text in the LF was enlarged as an update was made to the Intellistar. Notice the size of the text expecially in the CC.

Hmm, interesting, I think I like that one  :yes:
So, did they actually enlarge all the text? And why isn't the ad crawl displaying (not that that is a hue problem to me, but it is strange and there must be a reason behind its lack of presence)
