Sideloading is installing apps via apk packages that weren't downloaded from the Google Play Store

Just thought I'd pitch in with a discovery I've just found using the LocalNow app.
Turns out if you do the sideloading method to install the app (It's not available in the UK for obvious reasons) and run your web traffic through a US proxy you can access and watch all of the LocalNow feeds. I'm currently watching severe weather coverage through Greensboro's feed.

I suppose it's the closest I'll get to watching TWC live

As far as what I can make out, I'm pretty sure Local Now is going to be the successor to weatherscan. It's a bit odd that after 3 years since the new HD graphics launch, they still haven't upgraded the graphics.

Does anyone know if Local Now is a Sling TV exclusive? Maybe TWC are going to push this to other providers eventually.

Looks nice, What language are you using?

I must also mention that if you're uploading footage to Youtube read the ELUA for this. There's one point that might sting some people.

I know this is technically not a Emulation but I thought I would share it with you guys.
It's a mock promo for Accuweather (*shivers*) which actually didn't turn out too bad.

I was bored so created it for 'something to do'. Accuweather can have it if they pay for the un-watermarked stock footage/

I suppose I didn't write it correctly, It would be nice to see the designs of the older units, not necessarily the analog signal.

I'm not 100% sure if the STAR being shown on the SD channel around here is the IS2. The LDL and sidebar are synced up correctly but, the actual local forecasts opened with different greetings on the SD and HD channels. The SD version didn't have the local ad crawl and the tornado week ad glitch showed up only on the SD channel. I'm not sure if it's an IS2 Jr. (I don't think so) but it's still peculiar.

I think you may have an IS2xD Unit. I can confirm that the IS2HD and IS2xD are 2 seperate units. The IS2xD has the capability to broadcast over the SD and HD feeds simultaneously. As for the LDL and Sidebar being synced, the IS2 units have some sort of "fail-safe" in case the unit's LDL cues late. If the LDL or sidebar is cued late, the IS2, somehow, changes the LDL or sidebar to the correct product. It's the same technology in the IS2s LF "fail-safe".

Mind blown, How does this thing not overheat. I wonder if the IS2xD unit looks different to the normal IS?

Thanks for that gt1racerlHDl. Interesting, I'm not quite sure why they would do that. So you also get the L bar too?

Not a bad concept, I very much like it. If anything I personally think the SFX go on for a little too long but it's great!

Maybe TWC will pick them up in the future once the production music phase ends?

I very much doubt that will happen. The tracks aren't exactly one minute long...

It's probably that your headend unit is loosing the connection to TWC. I don't know if it is temporary but I would let your provider know this is happening.
