I took a shot at making one in photoshop, I as well found the official font used which is "Akko Light".I'm not a programmer (I don't know how
), but I would like to beta test upon beta release.
I could be wrong, but I think all the emulator projects here are long dead.Hm. Didn't know that. That's sad

It's one of the most hilarious websites I've seen all year!!
I wouldn't mind having the Local Weather ID appear at some point on the LDL.Should the part where it shows the cable/satellite provider be returned though?I do agree that the ID should appear for technical reasons because it's very useful for TWC's tech support if a viewer needs to report errors with their LOT8s.
You know, that would be a good place. Nice thinking.True, but it could help people report STAR problems to their cable company, maybe. It is attractive, you do have to admit!
Two very good points. I agree with you 100% on the first one, but I'm sure there must be another place they can put the ID. How about in the corner of the screen during the clock segment of the local forecast?
Does TWC stop using those jokes and comments on the IS and IS2 local forecast intro page during severe weather or just stop them in the areas effected?Agree completely. Severe weather isn't a joke, and TWC shouldn't make it one with the pre-LOT8's jokes.
Though I'm not in a severe weather area I am still getting those comments on my IS.
They should really turn them off during severe weather coverage.
Banned because no one else has posted in this game at all this year until now.Banned because I feel like it.
Has anyone ever seen this phrase of the text forecast? (Sorry for the poor photo quality.)Woah, that nearly takes up the whole page on your Intellistar! That's a strange phrase!
"Showers early with mainly sunny skies later in the day as drier air moves in on gusty breezes."
I've never seen that phrase on the IS before.
I have a few things to say regarding the past few comments...I have read thru the whole manual many times, but cannot seem to find the page on the satellite. What page would that be on?
1. Satellite Dish - In the Junior's manual, it will tell you all of the requirements for the satellite dish. You need a 6' C-Band satellite dish at the minimum. So no, you can't use a Dish Network dish... you need a BUD.
2. Feed Encryption - I noticed you're fairly confused with how the encryption works on the satellite feed. You said in your YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC5q94V3598) that you purchased a DigiCipher. This will not work. You need a VideoCipher II for this to work properly in your application, but even then you can't get these things authorized anymore. It's just not possible.
3. The STARs do not phone home... the satellite feed is one way communication. Now, as for the newer models possibly utilizing the internet (not sure why they would, but possible) they may phone home. But that is just speculation.
4. Some stuff about the Junior's diagnostic screen... "RLYS" is for relays. When activated (0 to 1), it will close a circuit telling external equipment to perform their tasks. DQ is data quality, and sensors is obviously for the external weather sensors that were available to the operator (never seen a Jr use this).
**Aside from that**
This stuff isn't exactly easy or cheap, either. Yes, this is all old technology... but you really have to know what your doing for the work to actually pay off. And given the analog feed is supposedly kicking the bucket last I've heard this may not be a wise investment.
