Localonthe8s, are you sure the XL was not affected?

There is no narration in the 1 min lfs for the XLs. It's standard for them.

Don't you notice the different flavor though? This is not how the 1 minute was the last time I was in this headend's area

I am not completely positive, but I believe that's the way the one-minute XL flavor has always acted when a Weather Bulletin was displayed. The normal one-minute flavor has a 24-Hour Text-based forecast, but since the Weather Bulletin is displayed, there's not enough time for the full text forecast, so the Daypart Forecast is used instead.

You may actually be right. I noticed the 11:08 PM EDT LF was normal as well.

Jeremy's and Rob's XLs are narrationless during the 1 min flavours.

My question is that when is this beta flavor update going to finish?

Those are extra weird playlists because your forecast products were unavailable for some reason.

Yeah, my IntelliStar was reset during the 2PM hour that day.

There's a flavor where it goes from the Metro maps, directly to the 7 day outlook (skipping the 36 hour forecast)....I like that one.

I noticed the one minute flavors only show two cycles of the local radar, just like before September 2004!

The ones during :08 and :38 during DP don't even show the radar, I don't like that.

I actually like it. It means less spontaneous narration. I don't feel it is necessary to show the radar if there is nothing on it, so long as they make sure to show the sat/rad product.

A local forecast without current conditions? That's like....

**** you NBTWC.
