Our IS and IS2 have both been, and continue to be, functioning just fine.

Alex, the TruVu Max Traffic product would be something the OCM's use on air. Not something that would actually be integrated in to the IS/IS2. If it was to ever be integrated at all it would just be the source Max Traffic uses, not the actual system itself.

Um, it was said previously that the squeezeback is having some changes made to it and will resume when they're worked out. Don't know what they are, don't know why, just that it will be back.

Ours has been working fine besides the occasional glitch where rows of pixels from the LDL jump across the screen. Haven't even seen the green screen in weeks.
Scratch that: we're green screening and tiling bad now.

Weatherscan Discussion / Re: Alert scrolls
« on: September 30, 2011, 10:57:01 AM »Weatherscan should scroll the same weather bulletins that TWC does on its Stars. If Weatherscan doesn't, all I can think of is that it's an error in that Weatherscan somehow "missed" it, or the Weatherscan system is set up with slightly different geographic parameters from TWC's Star - just enough to exclude that particular advisory from Weatherscan.
It's set for the same county as our IS & IS2. Shawnee County, KS. It surely can't be "missing" multiple issuances of certain advisories. It catches every severe thunderstorm & tornado watch/warning and even their updates.

I just looked at the Press Releases and didn't realize how new it was. It was just released 9/22. I thought it was pretty old. That must have been an older, different system that went with Titan.

Everything Else TWC / Re: General TWC Discussion
« on: September 29, 2011, 09:50:22 PM »I wonder why TWC doesn't use TruVu Max Traffic at least every once in a while?
I'm pretty sure Traffic isn't a part of Max. On WSI's website, its a different product... not even named Max Traffic. They probably didn't invest in it.
Not really sure where you're seeing that...? It's right here.

Weatherscan Discussion / Re: Alert scrolls
« on: September 29, 2011, 06:17:11 PM »The last time I was able to view Weatherscan last year, I remember once seeing a Severe T'Storm Warning crawl on TWC, but it didn't show up on Weatherscan. I assumed it was an error.
That was probably an error, because Weatherscan goes in to "Severe Weather Alert" mode when a severe thunderstorm or tornado warning are issued where it only switches between the alerts screen, radar, and a screen that shows that it's currently in alert mode due to severe weather in the area.

Weatherscan Discussion / Alert scrolls
« on: September 29, 2011, 05:37:12 PM »
I don't understand why almost every alert scrolls on TWC with the IS & IS2, yet on Weatherscan... a channel dedicated to 24/7 local weather information does not scroll most of these alerts. We're in a Red Flag Warning & an Extreme Fire Danger message was issued. On TWC HD they're scrolling a Fire Weather Risk in orange, yet neither shows up on Weatherscan. There are other alerts that do not scroll on Weatherscan. I don't get it... 
EDIT: It doesn't even show the red alert page for these.

When you guys are saying L-bar, you do mean squeezeback... right? 'Cause to me the L-bar is the old style L-bar with current conditions for cities across the US scrolling on the left side with a radar at bottom left and local conditions along the bottom. The squeezeback is what they've been using lately that comes on the 8's where it has the clouds behind it with local information and squeezes the broadcast in to the upper right corner.

No, the towns show on the mini radar only. Only Topeka is shown on the sidebar for forecasts.

Our IS2 LOT8's bottom left-hand radar that stays on the length of the run had two additional cities added to it. It's no longer just Topeka. It's now Topeka, Berryton & Silver Lake on there.
EDIT: BTW, those 2 towns are both the first two additional cities on our LDL with Topeka being our main city.

If they'd remove the Sunrise/Sunset screen on the squeezeback I think it would help a little. I just don't know a valuable screen to replace it with. It's not exactly pertinent information. Ideas? Even if they made it in to an Almanac screen it might help. I really just wish they'd take advantage of all the wasted space, especially on the HD feed. I know this is the first version of it so things will change.
