Local Forecast / Re: City by City side bar Info.

« on: June 05, 2010, 10:32:05 PM »

I hate it, especially since (I think) on weekends I notice it takes up MORE of my screen. Plus it's not helpful when you have a warning crawl ON TOP of the side bar so part of the conditions for your area are cut-off. I liked the blue side-bar better. It was more with their color scheme and NEVER took up anymore than the warning crawl.

Ummm......I'm confused......
1. This is a TWC HD LDA topic. Not SD. HD can't display warnings (yet).......
2. The sidebar is still blue.......
3. And there was NEVER a sidebar on SD.

You couldnt tell he was mixing up the LDA and LDL terms

Programming and Graphics / Re: New HD LDL?

« on: June 05, 2010, 10:30:24 PM »

Is there a chance in the future that this LDL would be used for all HD programming? and take the place of the LDA?

Probably since I doubt the HD STAR has an LDA

Most of you are gonna  me for this...

I <3333 this year's Tropical Update Music!!!!!!!!!! Got the chance to hear about 15 min ago.

I enjoy it as well.  Was not a fan at first, but after hearing x amount of times, I enjoy it.  Graphics are nice too (I do not like the ending of it though with that wave.)

Slowly starting to grow on me

Local Forecast / Re: Narrations on the HD STAR

Whoa, I've missed so much! An HD STAR? Hmm...I read a bit about it in this topic, but I couldn't find any clarification whether or not it's just for big cities or if it's for anywhere. (If it's only for big cities, I wonder if New Orleans still counts as one.)

The HD STAR won't be just for big cities, as long as your cable company carries TWC HD and you have a STAR unit in your city.

It probably will cover much wider areas too. I cant see cable companies buying as many HD STARS as they have Intellistars

Local Forecast / Re: Expanded Local on the 8s

I find this "trial run" odd because it's basically impossible to provide live forecasts like this to every major market. I guess the plan for the future might be to record a segment for each of the cities they want to cover. Of course, this will prevent them from using live content in these segments, but I can't really think of a better solution. It's not like they have the capacity to push out 5-10 different live feeds, right? I think they only have like three control rooms, and I can't imagine them having more than one or two key walls set up in their building, so I'm pretty sure the finished product will have to be recorded segments, right?

Thats a good point! Are these actually live?

If you have Satellite or Digital Cable or what ever else out there offers a IPG...what does yours look like?  I find it interesting what some cable provider's look like.
I have Cox Communications Digital Cable and here's what ours looks like...

Hmm, that's interesting. It's odd to think they would show something like this and have a LT8s video on twcmediakit.com if that's not even the "concept" they're going to use.

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.

Nice to see another lightning-photographer, Martin!

Even though some of these pictures are from last summer, I wasn't a member here then so I thought I would show them...
Here are some lightnings shots, and Sundog shots I have...and some Mammatus Clouds.
You can see a bunch more of my weather shots at my flickr account:
