Looks like we have another minor LDL update on the IntelliStar. The ad crawl has been extended to the far right part of the screen, and the font has been enlarged. Also, the font of the clock is a bit larger, matching the temperature font.
Edit: The drop shadow has returned to behind the TWC logo, too.
-
I like it. :yes:
-
Traffic crawl was also updated...

Like the font updates, but the extended crawl looks bad. It could have stayed where it was and still looked really good.

Personally, I like the previous Traffic/Ad crawl size as well.
Could this be a breakthrough for the Warning LDLs?
-
Yeah I agree about the crawl going all the way to the right of the screen. I think that "weather.com" address should stay below the logo the whole time the LDL is shown.

I agree. It looked pretty cool before. But like everything, TWC has to ruin a good thing.

A little bird told me that advertising companies using the LAS complained about weather.com being next to their crawl, as well as the crawl area not being large enough. :innocent:
The traffic crawl seems to go slower now, and I'm not a fan of that. :hmm:

Do you have any idea if they will be revamping the warning crawls on the LDL.. it seems so weird that they would update the rest but not that. D:

I'm told "it's planned." However, the HD Star takes total priority right now.

Yeah, when's that supposed to launch? :whistling:

Yeah, I would guess. Also, yes, where is the HD Star :PPP

There's no set date.

The satellite Stars received this update this morning; the time looks MUCH nicer now. :happy:
-
I noticed that this morning and added it to the Wikipedia entry on the IntelliStar.
TOTPD! :dance:

What? :huh:

What? :huh:
"Top Of The Post Dance" Yea I had to Google it too
-
The Satellite LDL looks exactly the same to me... :huh:
-
Isn't the clock bigger, or didn't DirecTV receive the update?

My eyes shrunk a little too with that clock this morning. :blink:
-
DirecTV didn't get the update then <_<
-
Victor, could you post a screencap or video of the DirecTV LDL right now?

Sure. And you remembered my first name for once! :D

That LDL was updated. :yes: The time is indeed larger, and there is a drop shadow under the TWC logo.
-
What is a drop shadow?
And it looks normal to me. But it's OK, at least they didn't implement an ad crawl on the satellite ldl.

I don't like that shadow. :angry:
Without it, I can see the real TWC logo (that starts up after LOT8s) disappear.
-
Hey, I missed the part where you changed your username; it took me several more days of reading posts to actually figure out who you were.
(A drop shadow is where the TWC logo casts a small shadow off to the right of itself.)

You can still see it disappear if you look closely. :yes:
-
BTW, this update also fixed the issue with the forecast not appearing on the LDL during EEWC. Good to finally see that fixed.
-
Sorry to bump this, but I believe that the only reason the shadow behing the logo is there is because the TWC Logo behind the LDL doesn't disappear after a few seconds. Before that, it went away.

Actually, there is a drop shadow on the TWC logo part of the LDL (which was added before they had the TWC logo displayed on the segments all the time). ;)

OK.
Well, it is weird because during OCM segments between 6/08-9/08, I saw the shadow until a few seconds later. Is that why I never knew it did that until the new LDL came to DirecTV? :blink:
