WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Re: Update-Related Issues
« on: November 13, 2013, 07:22:10 PM »
On Astoria's STAR (23550) there are issues with both of the radar maps.

On the regional map, the labels for Olympia and Hoquiam are cut off at the top.



On the metro map, Vernonia shows the dot but its label is cut off at the bottom (black arrow points toward Vernonia).

If this hasn't been posted yet, here is a clip of my STAR featuring the graphically updated weather advisory scroll:

TWC IntelliSTAR + Weather Statement- Astoria, OR- Nov. 13, 2013- 2:08PM PST


IMO I like how the scroll does not overlap the LDL so I'll be able to see my current weather conditions at the same time.  :yes:

The weather icons are still the same as before on Weatherscan according to this YT video I found from today:

Emergency feed at 12:18PM PT. Still shows the WPS graphics and the 2010-2013 IS icons.

EDIT: Looks like this was already mentioned on the graphics topic.

No LOT8s at :30 past the hour. :club:  I thought someone said there were going to be locals on the half-hour during long-form.  There was certainly enough commercial space to have one.

I did see a LOT8s at 11:18AM PT  :yes:  so it looks like they do air the LFs every half-hour during long-form, but it's at :18/:48 past the hour as before with the squeezebacks.

IMO, I thought that the new graphics looked neat on screen.  :yes:  It's also nice to see local weather even during commercial breaks and long-form programming. One thing I've noticed, however, is that the local weather ID has disappeared.  :itsok:  The ID number is very helpful if one experienced a problem with their LOT8s and needed to report it to the STAR team. Other than that, the rest of the graphics are amazing.

Also, does Weatherscan have the new weather icons, or does it still use the 2010-2013 icons?  :dunno:

Astoria, Oregon:

TWC Weather All the Time Local on the 8's- Astoria, OR- Nov. 12, 2013- 1:38AM PST















I'm still seeing the national feed on my HD channel, as my cable headend still does not have an IS2 unit installed yet.  :no:

I use a Windows Live email account to log into my YT
How? Youtube hasn't allowed any other email clients besides Gmail since 2010. :huh:

Back in the day, anybody could use any email address they wish upon registration to YT, regardless if it was Gmail or not.  :yes:  I signed up in 2009, and to this day, I continue to receive notifications from YT in my Live inbox.

I easily adjust to post-DST-switching time (schedule, sleep, etc.) as if nothing happened imp.

I use a Windows Live email account to log into my YT and despite that, Google made me create a Google+ account so I can comment on YT videos. Ridiculous!  :hammer:
