I know it's not 12AM yet over there, but I hope it's a good one!

If you're stressed out or worried about things in the future, your sleeping patterns will get shorter.  Try to relax for an hour or so before going to sleep.  Turning off lights and playing soft music just before bedtime might help.

I have the same exact problem, and it's only during the week. I usually listen to music or the NOAA weather radio to doze me off a little. I have a clock radio that has an iPod dock port built in to it, so I can just put my iPod in and have my clock radio on sleep.

I'm still getting the radar here, but that's because there's rain nearby.

Hmm, let me take a look. I sure hope the radar at least displays on other flavors during events of precipitation.

Really? A radar showing continuously for two minutes?

The :28 flavor here started with the local obs instead of the metro map like before.

AFAIK, HiRAD only works in the lower 48, so it's probably a reporting station that's on there. It's quite possible the reporting station is simply not reporting sky conditions. There are some around here that are like this, such as Andover, NJ and the inner harber in Baltimore.

The one minute :08/:38 forecast is a lot like the XL's one minute flavor from 2002-03. The only exception is that the radar displayed after the week ahead instead of after the current conditions.

Here's also another user who has a handful of 4000 videos (and XL/IntelliStar) throughout the midwest/intermountain west:

Something weird...the 8:08PM local started out with the Now/4city/4city start without narration.  Narration was on...the Radar segment and all following were narrated.

Hmm, it started with the Front Page CC with the E.L. headend, but I too noticed no narration at the beginning.

The narration wasn't heard most likely because there wasn't enough time for all of it to be heard. Just like how it was like on the old one-minute flavors when there was a weather bulletin.

Not bad. I'm at all A's right now except for an 85% in English. That should change soon because there's still more grades to be put in to the system.

Well, I have had my first Satellite LF sighting at school, with the E.L. headend, at 5:58 PM EDT

You're still at school?

Beware of the user wolf327. This is a freshman from my school, who figured out I use this site. 

Are you friends or not with this person?

Like I said in that video, it's probably just how the headends rely on the signal. Do you have digital or analog cable in both your houses?
