Yes there is. It can be seen in all shows except for WUWA, YWT, WC (I assume just the Cantore/Steele one), and long form. :yes:

So let me get this straight: there are now 5 LDLs.

For SD,
one is small
one is big
one is the old blue used on the IS

For HD,
one is small
one is the big one that shows the 5-day forecast (like that)
(and technically there's six...including the LDL on the HD National Feed)

You have the 5 LDLs part correct. :yes:

1 LDL is for warnings (the ones we've seen since August 2005); one is for LFs (the blue one we're most familiar with); one is on the HD feed (during all shows except for WUWA, YWT, WC (Cantore/Steele only), and long form); the small SD one is only on WUWA, YWT, WC (Cantore/Steele only), and long form. The large SD one is on all other shows.

Small HD LDL is just the old sidebar with new icons

Interesting...

So when the small LDL is used for SD, no LDL is used on HD. :wacko: This is probably easier to understand than I'm making it out to be, but I wish TWC would just stick with one LDL. :hmm:

Thanks for clarification, Zach and Martin! :D

Good call, Martin!   Random note: have you seen the vertical blue bar in the projection screen?  Guess it's time to go back to chromakey!!

The large LDL in SD is great for bulletins and warnings, but I personally prefer the smaller LDL in SD for showing general information as it seems just right to me in terms of spacing. :yes:  The LDA combined with the 5-day LDL in HD just takes up way too much space.  I even wonder if the remaining picture you see fits within SD screens. :hmm:  I don't think that HD configuration could stay up for long without some people complaining that it's too cluttered.  That's just my fast opinion as I was looking over everyone's snapshots and videos of it along with what I saw on my end, and TWC definitely needs to do something with that vertical blue bar as it was pretty easy for me to spot in HD. ;)

Warning scrolls are going to suck with the big ldl since in theory it will just overlap it

I think it would be neater to see the warnings flash up and scroll on the big LDL itself.  I'm sure it won't happen, but it's just a thought.

I think that would be ok...having the radar with warning polygons show up at the same time (in the ad space) would be perfect!
