I don't know; let's hope that the STARs fail to cue sometime soon or that they show the emergency feed.

My IS always lags behind a few seconds when it's cued to do something, whether it's to display the LF or the radio/newspaper affiliates.

Here's another video with the satellite graphic update. Includes the severe warning titlebar update. This time I got the audio to work. :thrilled:

As I expected with the HD launch, they're really starting to rid the Interstate font.

My thoughts too. I really like the Interstate font. Chances are they might have the same HD looking titlebars on the IS.

What fonts are used in the new package?

Hmm, I wonder what happens when that new irrigation system outside the HD studio calls in to get the weather forecast, and it gets no forecast? :P ... Seriously, haha.
