New SD Satellite LF
« on: May 25, 2011, 04:32:32 PM »
The SD Satellite LF has been updated. Basically they integrated the HD graphics but into a smaller and more regional form.  The HD lf is unaffected and it seems like they also used the HD LF LDL, but the SD LDL during programming is unaffected at the moment. On a side note, the SD LF we had previously was updated exactly 3 years from now - 5/25/08.

Clip to come shortly..

I'm glad they finally did this. Its a much nicer design than the previous. Now all I need is Dish network to install local stars here!

***As of 3:48 PM CDT (4:48 PM EDT), TWC reverted back to the original SD satellite forecast. Maybe they were just testing something? :unsure:

(I happened to see it just in time at 3:38 this afternoon, and it looked really good.)

I would guess they were testing it. There is no way they'd make a 4:3 Version, show it twice, then go back to the original. I was like "HUH?!?!" When it didn't come on @ 4:59

It looks like they're finally phasing out their old WPS/WSI satellite LF system that had been a fixture since 1999 with a more-modern Vizrt-based satellite LF, not unlike the current HD Satellite LF. The finny thing is, I predicted this would happen nearly two years ago...

Now I hope we get a new SD LDL. I like the one on the HD LF and the new one on the SD LF. The current one is an eyesore IMO.

Is this how "advanced" animations are now able to be used on the SD satellite? Because I remember when they upgraded to the new graphics three years ago, I asked why they couldn't use animations, and someone said that is because the system cannot support such a thing.

This is so much nicer!

The number of red boxes is quite scary, though.  :(
