Is this pointing the finger to a possible full satellite LF overhaul?

And also, I don't see anything changed with the radar basemaps....

I think all of you have brain damage or something Summer has been FLYING BY!

It definitely has. While I do want it going by so I can see my friends again, I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

Wow... I just noticed I have about 7 more weeks of my summer left... it did go by quicklly But, I am going to enjoy these last few weeks of summer. I'm going to LA and Philly

I go back to school in 2 weeks

@Billy: But you didn't see what was on UNDERNEATH the ISTAR LDL:


First picture: LDA on SD feed.
Second picture: This LDL looks simular to the 16% HD LDL, but the gradient is red, not blue!
Third picture: Notice the city name! Diffrent font! And notice in the lower left hand corner, and animating radar!
Fourth picture: Another pic of the red gradient.

All the cast & crew of WUWA just came onscreen    I knew they would make a big deal out of their 1 year anniversary, so that's why I watched    They even had the Cake Boss make a cake!

Ok, alot of people have asked me this question, so I am going to answer it right here, right now.

Why do you have Comcast in your profile on TWCT if you have DirecTV?

Ok, the answer is YES, I do have DirecTV. Both of my parents work during the day, so I stay at my Grandmother's house. Therefore, during the summer, on school holidays, etc. I am at her house from 7AM-3PM.  I have DirecTV at my house, but my Grandmother has Comcast. So since I am at her house sometimes, I just put Comcast.

The 5 & 6 PM ET PME Openers had the music cut off and faded at the start today. Dunno about 4 PM ET though.

I noticed that too.

Argh....not Memphis....

I thought it would have been placed in locations that have TWC Fans, so we could give them feedback and stuff.

I am not sure what gave you that idea. Select markets were picked and the community here will be monitored for feedback. They aren't placing the beta sites based on our location

they have before, IIRC.

Yeah they were when they beta tested the current SD Intellistar version back in 2007. tpirfan28's area was one of the headends to receive the upgrade

Yea, that's what made me think that, Martin. I knew they had done it before with a previous STAR.

So, is this nationwide yet?

If not, will it become nationwide sometime tomorrow for the biggest cities first? Ex: Atlanta>Los Angeles>Las Vegas>Memphis. Or will it go East to West? Ex: Atlanta>Memphis>Las Vegas>Los Angeles?

I have my bets that Atlanta will be one of the beta test cities since The Weather Channel is headquartered here, and the area has gotten beta tests in the past.

Unfortunately, I don't have an HD TV at home to see if it does launch as a beta test here, so someone else who's in Atlanta will have to look out for it.

According to Tyler...Atlanta, Nashville, Murfeesboro, and a few other select cities are going to get the Beta IntelliSTAR 2.

I've never seen a TWC ad on YouTube before.

This was on edbassmaster's channel.
