New LDL

[Localonthe8s]

Oh, I wasn't complaining about the clock. I have the Intellistar, so I couldn't care less about the satellite LDL. I have half a dozen clocks in my room anyways.

Don't forget that watch on your left wrist too.

Off topic, but how did you know that?

The array of hidden cameras in your room. Good luck finding them all

uhoh you better watch out Aaron, everyone's after ya..

Yeah, I'm not paranoid enough as it is

I knew you were going to argue that. Can't we just for once ignore posts we disagree with? I have my reasons for saying what I do, and there's no need to argue everything I say, especially if it is several posts above.

That's weird that they wouldn't discover the want of such a simple thing as a clock in their "research" to being with since after they do something without it, people go nuts and want it on whatever product they put out.  One would think this would be a substantial sign to keep the clock and not have to reinvent the wheel 5 times.
Then you probably knew I was going to chime in too.

As Mike said, TWC, as do all media outlets, researches extensively before implementing changes on-air. There clearly isn't a want for a clock or I can assure you it would be there. The clock wasn't on domestic IntelliStar's new LDL until it was extensively requested.

Why did you just quote without putting your own message?

I think he just mesed up with the quotes. Here's his message:

Ah, ok. That makes sense.

ALSO: This is my 200th post!

*Bump*

I know this has been discussed before, but is anyone getting a clock on the SD LDLs? I think a clock may be provided for viewers with a STAR, but there is NO clock whatsoever on the national LDLs. (And I know no clocks are present on HD LDLs, either. )

A clock was briefly added in the lower left (the part of the LDL that is national even for Intellistar viewers), but once the Intellistars got their own clocks on the new LDL, the national clock was removed.  Maybe someday they'll bring it back, especially considering it's not only the satellite viewers who see the national LDL now, but also all cable viewers with a non-Intellistar system - that's the XL, 4000, and Jr.

Sorry about the quotes thing.  It was a fast reply while I still had the thought in my head.

I'm curious who TWC surveys when making decisions because it appears it's the wrong viewing audience.  Generally non-informational long-form programming, no clocks on new graphics, hodge-podge graphic themes between shows and products (such as SD vs HD), etc.

They likely hire (happy Springy )a research company that takes many many focus groups and gets data from them. For the general population the moves they make are not poorly received or they wouldn't  be making the changes

During a commercial at 12:16AM CDT on 6/29, my XL's Black Bar LDL made a 3 second appearance.  This is not a joke, and I wasn't seeing things. It was a very exciting 3 seconds! lol. I wish I had been recording it.

Brian confirmed to me earlier that this did happen. I imagine it was some mistake

I thought Brian cued his XL LDL by himself?

Yes but he noticed something was randomly cued by TWC themselves last night

This morning, I saw the national SD LDL show white boxes for icons, like how the HD LF has done in the past.
