Wow, TWC didn't ruin my favorite part of their LF! Now Thunder can still produce quality videos with pride!

Only nitpick is that the yellow coloring in the satellite imagery is awkward.
And I'm trying to make it better with the WinTV tuner I got as well ;)

If the SD IS is getting a graphic update (thank god, now THAT's a system in need of updating), what was the point of giving it that graphics set last year?

Well, the SD satellite once went through 3 graphics sets in less than a year, so yeah....

Anyone know if the emergency feed satellite LF got updated as well?

I like it, but I don't like the idea of having the satellite with the cloud temperature color codes. Makes it confusion whether it's clouds or rain. 6/10.

Hmm, I see what you mean. It looks like an infrared radar with a winter precip radar overlayed over it. I could see confusion over the difference between clouds and snow, but the rain looks to be well-defined on the radar.

I'll have to see it on the TV for real before I can tell for sure, though.

You know, now that TWC is readily available in Hawaii, I'm surprised they haven't added a Hawaii forecast map to the satellite LF. If I were a TWC-viewing resident in HI, I'd feel kind of neglected.

I've noticed what appears to be some of the HD maps being used randomly during the SD live broadcasts.

Am I losing it?

Nothing really stands out.  Same basic color scheme, same basic "I want to fall asleep" look to it.  It's not like the HD national forecast, now THAT has a wow to it.

Well I don't think i'll be getting the HD channel until 2009 or something, considerign Comcast is lazy and Little Rock isn't a big market.

That's actually a bad thing when combined with radar like it is. Employing two different color schemes in one map is just stupid. Hopefully they'll realize this and change it back.

Anyone know what hides under the LDL of the new satellite LF?
