The L-bar is back?!
« 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.
