I am currently exploring several ways to improve the side area of people's profiles in topic-view (the area including the cable company, channel number, etc). Stay tuned for details.

sounds great, yeah it is kinda cluttered. my request would only make it worse.

Questions, Comments, Suggestions / WeatherStar ID Field Option?

« on: June 12, 2010, 12:23:34 AM »

Since TWCC and TWCT have merged, it seems as though having a WeatherSTAR ID Field in people's profiles (and on the side) would be logical to help the star team a little more. although not totally necessary, I thought it'd be nice for them

yeah, the logo on the new hd ldl is not 16:9 safe and the "om" in .com is cut off.

but based off of the pictures on the first page it is 16:9 safe. it was also said that the logo position hasn't changed on the HD feed, but based off of these pictures i took today...the logo shifted (on the new LDL)

i'm not really sure how to explain it...

has anyone noticed that with this new HD LDL the TWC Logo is not 16:9 safe? it kinda bugs me.

Doesn't have to be, since you'll only see this on the HD channel.  Of course, that doesn't explain the dead space on the other side of the HD LDL.

you misread, i said 16:9 safe...not 4:3 safe. i didn't mention anything about SD.

IIRC the HD logo is in the exact same place it's been in since the 3/11/10 graphics launch.

it definitely has shifted (for this new LDL that is), i'll try to capture a few shots. hopefully this will show what i'm talking about.

edit: based off of the pictures on the first page of this topic, it appears fine---i wonder what gives? still gonna take screen shots, and maybe play around with the settings on my tv.

the logo is safe on the LDA/5 Day Forecast combination, but with the new LDL it's off

Once the IntelliStar2 rolls out, HD STAR viewers won't see the LDA at all. The IntelliStar2 will have a 15% and 33% LDL as the current SD IntelliStar does.

is the star going to roll out to all companies that carry TWC HD, or just some? i've been a little confused on that topic.

and, how many LDL's exist on TWC, again? lol

Local Forecast / Re: Narrations on the HD STAR

« on: June 05, 2010, 01:21:10 AM »

Its not too odd when you think about it. These images were released around the HD launch. TWC wanted something to show off to cable companies and presenting their case for people to want TWC HD and increase their product image. The graphics in their twcmediakit never were made on an actual star unit.

or on air in that case...i remember a video that was posted on twcmediakit that gave us a "look in to the future", it consisted of over the air graphics, and a few shots of that HD Star...none in which made it to the air.

they over hyped the preview, i guess. basically because, graphically speaking, the HD Launch was a disappointment. though, the show opens were descent.

Local Forecast / Re: Narrations on the HD STAR

So why exactly is Jim doing the narration?  I think his voice is more for like, severe weather...not reading the current conditions.

Great there's narration...

Really? Honestly, what did you expect?

How about really to yourself.  At least he had something to say related to the topic.  Not just trying to pick a fight...

I'm not trying to pick a fight. It's long been established that people find the narration very useful, so I don't see how anyone can be surprised the HD STAR would indeed have narration.

Well the HD Beta that NYC uses didn't have narration so I would've thought the actual HD STAR wouldn't have any music hogging narration either. (not that the music is good anyways)

based off of what I remember, that Star is just a test and the actual HD Star that will be released may not look anything close to NY's HD Star...
