Title: July 2008 LDL Update
Post by: Zach on July 08, 2008, 10:01:19 PM
 :unsure:I'm not real sure about this, but according to Wikipedia, the LDL Line went from Gray to blue. Here on DirecTV, the line is still gray. Did this update only affect IntelliSTAR users?

Yes, it appears that the change only effected the cable IntelliStar. The satellite IS didn't yet get the update.

I'm pretty sure the LDL your referring to is indeed only for the IS. I could be wrong though.  :unsure:

EDIT: Billy beat me.  :P

I compared my LDL with videos from last month and I don't see anything different about it. The top part has always been a greyish-blue.

The top strip has definately changed.

The June 2 version is gray while the July 1 version is now blue.

On the satellite IntelliStars, the top strip is still gray.

You know what's also different, the temp bug is now bold (other words, the temp bug is bigger)

Proof:

From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/intellistar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/intellistar)

July 1, 2008

The temperature font on the LDL was increased.
The upper part of the LDL was changed from a light-dark gray gradient to a light-dark blue gradient.

Most likely, it will take a few days though since satellite LDL is completely different than the cable LDL, according to Tyler.

But does anyone know if the Satellite LDL comes from DirecTV or TWC?

P.S.- This morning, the DirecTV LDL is still gray at the top.

The LDL you see on DirecTV or Dish comes from the IntelliStar unit that is installed at satellite "headend."

<_< If DirecTV had an IntelliSTAR, I'd be getting a local forecast, unless you mean the thing that generates the Pollen Data, Station ID,UV Index, etc.

They have an IntelliSTAR. It just doesn't produce local forecasts, that's all.

So you're saying they have one of these:

Yes, they have one of "those." Have we not made that clear before? <_<

Ok, Gary, can you predict when those July 2008 LDL updates for the LDL on DirecTV could come just like you predicted the time the next version of the WeatherSTAR 4000 Emulator comes out on Taiganet?
Title: Re: July 2008 LDL Update
Post by: lfmusiclover on July 17, 2008, 01:13:21 PM
Unfortunately I don't know anymore about that than anyone else here, meaning that I don't have any idea at all. I have no connections at TWC, so my sources for information are the same as every other person here.
