I think that it should be out by late December or anytime after that.
What are you even talking about? Don't expect it any time soon (i.e. as in more than likely not within the year).

The IntelliStar is due for an update soon as I mentioned, as it's been nearly two years since the current design has been out

Don't get your hopes up. It's gonna be a while.

It's not being canceled, just extensively delayed. They've run into hardware troubles...
No surprises whatsoever. The HD STAR is a complete waste of time and money, imo.
:wall: How is it a waste of time? The LF is the staple of TWC. Without it, kiss the majority of viewers goodbye.
Allow me to explain it the best way possible. The SD feed is fine. The VAST majority of viewers don't give two shrimps to HD nor the HD LF and get what they need from the SD STARs. People tune in to see their local information (forecasts, CC guesses, etc), and don't care how it is presented. There are several thousand STARs still in use that TWC and the STAR team need to pay attention to, which is an issue far more important than an HD STAR. TWC is moving way too fast, and has far better things to spend their money and time on than a STAR most people couldn't care less about.
You know what, you're right. TWC doesn't do customer research or anything like that. They don't receive daily emails from viewers asking why there is no local on the HD version of TWC. So, since you just contradict everything I say anyway, maybe I just won't post useful information here anymore.

They could have just upgraded the STAR v 1 or 2 to the HD feed, change the fonts and screen size and that would have worked until they get a new graphics package (probably another year or two).
If you're saying what I think you are... it's impossible. None of the current STARs, including the Istar are HD compatible.

Encoding issues?  (I forget - is TWC 720p or 1080i?)
A motherboard issue, apparently.



Guys, what we thought was the HD STAR Beta could not be true. If you notice, the feed was coming out in stereo and IIRC, a STAR Unit is what causes TWC SD to broadcast in mono (for those with a STAR :P). So overall, I think it's a feed coming directly from Atlanta. :yes:
The beta HD local in New York is an actual beta STAR. It's not a national feed.

Has anyone seen the Traffic report reach the last line before? or is there one more line?

This is the first i seen it

I've seen ones like this. During the G20, the list of road closures actually ran off screen.

HD STAR, which was recently due out this November, has been pushed back (yet again). No new time line at this point

I have been trying it out for sometime now. Its an improvement over 2007 but more touchups and tweaks rather than the huge UI changes between 03->07

Where did you get it, if you don't mind me asking?  :whistling:

I don't have time to read into this (the article and whatnot), but I wouldn't mind seeing the school year stretched from 180 days to 200 or 215. Can't hurt, right?

Here's Chris popping in and Steph having some fun Mike Bettes said "she is in rare form this morning folks."  :D

in the final pic mike was talking about New Castle, PA and thought of rolling rock and iron city beer in pa and Steph said " I have no idea i don't drink beer."

What was he saying about New Castle?

Programming and Graphics / Weather Channel To Share With NBC Affiliates

Saw this one coming a long time ago...


Weather Channel To Share With NBC Affiliates

Will give and grab content through "NewsChannel"
By Michael Malone -- Broadcasting & Cable, 9/22/2009 10:14:49 AM EDT

NBC affiliates' weather content is getting a bit richer, as NBC's cable network Weather Channel has joined NBC NewsChannel, the back-end content sharing system that allows participating NBC affiliates to share footage of major breaking news with each other.

NBC affiliates chairman Michael Fiorile calls the system "a collaborative," where a station in the Midwest might grab footage of the major flooding occurring in Georgia. Affiliates nationwide can now get extreme weather footage from Weather Channel through NewsChannel.

"Weather Channel will make their live shots available to affiliates," says Fiorile, while affiliates do the same for Weather.

I have never gotten one before, but I decided that I will be getting a flu shot this year. Also, the campus health department will be offering free swine ful shots, and I will be getting one of those as well (already one confirmed case on campus).
