IntelliStar 2 Discussion / Re: IntelliStar 2 Beta Launch
« on: January 27, 2011, 01:45:24 PM »is there anyway we can make a list of the cities that have received the IS2 in one topic?I know some of the cities, based on IS2 videos I've seen and posts in the IS2 discussion (there could be more).
i haven't had a chance to check out TWCHD in either San Angelo or San Antonio.
Here in San Angelo, I have Suddenlink...dunno if we'll ever get it. in San Antonio, I have time warner...based off of what I've read none of the time warner headends have upgraded yet, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
i'll definitely be checking in on TWCHD here in Angelo within the next couple of days (haven't gotten a chance to check since like last semester, lol).
Nashville, TN (Comcast)
Murfreesboro, TN (Comcast)
Lafayette, LA (Don't know)
Baton Rouge, LA (Don't know)
Grand Forks, ND (Midcontinent)
NYC, NY (Cablevision)
Toledo, OH (Buckeye)
Topeka, KS (Cox)

Well, the national SD LDL is back, but the tab bar is solid yellow instead of the normal gradient.

Jim in a TurboTax commercial? 
On a different note, the Chicago Crapcast headend is finally going digital. On a TV at school that would normally show MSNBC, there was a message saying the TV was not ready for Comcast's "digital enhancement."
Oh, and welcome back, Ana!

Local Forecast / Re: Local on the 8s split screen
« on: January 25, 2011, 05:54:54 PM »I meant the squeezeback. I'm watching the SD feed (don't have HD), and the squeezeback resembles the HD LF.Also at :23, but not at :13.
It's weird how it has the HD LF.
Really? I don't have an IS2 here, so I can't tell about the HD feed. I happened to be watching the SD feed (so I could see the local forecasts - there's yet another winter storm coming), and there was no local information on - not even an LDL.
This is just a test. It will have local information overlayed when it is used starting January 31.
On both SD and HD feeds?
Will this split screen be used only for longform programming, as I heard about, or will it be used during weather programming, too?
And what about my thought that this might replace the separate local forecast segments altogether? Not in the short-term, probably, but this is something that I can see happening eventually. It seems to follow with the technology that's available now versus what was available in the past. This is similar to my post about why the 3-day extended forecasts existed on earlier Stars (and still do as a legacy on the XL), but have been abandoned on the IS.
I don't think the LFs would be discontinued. If they were, then the legacy LDLs would have to cue, since the older STARs don't have much weather info outside of the LF, and TWC wouldn't like that. They don't cue the XL LDL, after all.
In addition, if the LFs were discontinued, and the legacy LDLs not cued, there would be no local weather to speak of. Thus, the older STARs would be come useless, and the companies with those STARs would be forced to buy an IS, which they might not be able to afford.

Do you think it's possible that this split screen could potentially replace the seperate local forecast altogether? After all, that's 12 minutes every hour with only the most limited of advertising.

Everything Else TWC / Re: What would you do to improve TWC?
« on: January 24, 2011, 09:59:19 PM »6. Use the video wall again for weather.(fix the color though.)They got a new video wall, so that's fixed.
Some more:
Stop hyping TWC Prime Time. It looks too much like something a movie channel would make.
As Max said, bring a unified look and sound to everything.
Bring back the 4-note chime.

Is there a possibility that the HD wall could be ready in the next few days, or will it take longer than that?
