Now is this just in NYC currently?

When this BETA test was first run 9 days ago, the New York City metropolitan area was the first television market to have this done. That is at least to my knowledge.

This more metropolitan view will work better as weather scan HD then LOT8

I agree. But remember, this isn't the final product, so we shall see what changes (if any) are made between now and the official release of the completed HD STARs across the country.

It's kinda disappointing. But, to be on the bright side, there's no narration.

You know it. TWC just can't do without their narration.  :P

If they do put narration on the new Star, they will be hearing from a REALLY unhappy fan.  :club:

Quite honestly, it won't matter. I've said it numerous times before... the number of satisfied people significantly outweighs the number of people who despise the narration.

I don't even pay attention to the narration anymore like it's not even there. I've dealt with it for nearly five years, so I'm used to it.

I like the narration! Guess im the only one  :P TWC should throw in some animated icons or something. Its a nice format but the whole forecast seems kinda blah to me. Im sure we will see a lot of changes in the months ahead.

While I'm not completely satisfied with the narration, I don't particularly hate it either.

That's what kinda disappoints me about the new Star, there are no animated icons. Hopefully they will put them in as the months go by.

Animated icons are almost a must for the HD STAR. I will be very surprised if it doesn't have them.

Also, I find the multi-city 36-Hour Forecast Page interesting. :yes:

And, I don't really like the "order" the screens are in so far, but it's highly likely they will change.

Did you get an HD STAR? Or you simply just seeing the HD satellite feed?
