Title: The L-bar is back?!
Post by: beanboy89 on December 12, 2008, 03:20:26 PM
So I'm sitting here with Full Force Nature on in the background, I turn around, and I see the IntelliStar L-bar corner forecast! I thought this was discontinued months ago. I guess not.  :blink: :dunno:

Maybe the L-Bar code has been embedded into that particular episode...and can't be overridden.

I thought maybe that could be it too, but I don't know about that.

What's wrong with it? I think it's a great idea since we only see the actual LF twice an hour during long-form programming.

can someone provide a current picture of the L-bar once it comes back on again, so I can shut Weatherstar4000 up on Wikipedia about it?

Just saw the L-bar again today on FFN. It seems that the satellite L-bar feed looks slightly different. Anyone with satellite/non-Istar got a video of it?

The trigger comes from master / NC , so it wouldn't be hard-coded in to the playback.

Here's a shot I got of the satellite feed on Friday:

Looks like they goofed up there with the TWC logo; normally it would resize into the pane with the rest of the video, but apparently that time it didn't.

Why did they get rid of the LBar?

They didn't get rid of it. It took a load off.

I've confirmed its few-month long hiatus was incidental; they just got around to fixing it the other day. How hard of a fix could it of possibly been?! :wacko:

Somehow it doesn't seem like it would be THAT hard.  :thinking: :wacko:

For some reason for DirecTV, the blue bar still overlaps over the LBar. For cable customers it doesnt. IDK why though, anyone else notice this? The blue bar should've been off when the LBar lf came on but instead it was still there.

L-Bar fails to work at 5:38 PM ET and starts satellite L-bar 5 to 10 secs before it ends
