They really is no point in watching the local forecasts. They're getting rid of important products and keep using reusing the same songs on the LF.

I wouldn't care if they started playing country and rap next month, I still need to see the LF.

Since when was the warning tone only four beeps? I just noticed this here tonight.

It's been like that for a while, I recorded some LF with the warning tone back in February and I think that's the last time I ever heard it sound off 7 beeps.

For those who may not have seen the IntelliStar version of the Thundersnow icon, here it is! I recorded this during the March 1st, 2009 Snowstorm in a HiRad Outage, My backup location is the airport, which is where he observation came from.

Does anyone remember what week in January "Why I Love Winter Week" started? I have two LF videos from then that I uploaded and I'm trying to figure out what week it was, the promos in the video said it was starting the following week after the LFs I recorded.

fail...we have a severe thunderstorm warning in a effect, and it was not shown on the LF...

I never see warnings on my LF anymore, by the time it does show up or scroll on the LF, my Weatherscan headend has been in Severe Weather Mode for a good 30 minutes, how does Weatherscan announce the warning well before TWC does?

This is 1 minute footage of Severe Weather Coverage I recorded on February 19, 2009 during a tornado outbreak in North Georgia from my local news affiliate WSB-TV (ABC) and captured with my tv tuner, It's just a test, I'm going to record it over again because of the audio being messed up, Thanks to Mike for helping me with this.

I've never seen this topic before.. I'm not afraid to show all my friends on here what I look like. I'm the girl on the right in the first pic. These are somewhat recent.

If you don't me saying, your very pretty.

I've been noticing that the LF has been a little different recently, too.  My IS sometimes skips the detailed current conditions (first slide) and goes straight to the regional temp map, which never used to happen.  It also occasionally skips the 'currently in our area...bla bla bla' on the first slide.  I have noticed this happening in the past week and a half during Weather Center and other live programming like that, during the normal LOT8s versus the shortened version after programs like When Weather Changed History, etc.  It seems as though TWC is attempting to switch up the LF somehow but has failed...much like the design aspect for the current LF (backgrounds/transitions/etc).  I'd be happy with the detailed currents, regional temps, radar, daypart forecast graphic and 7-day.  Just my 5 cents...

Your right, as of last Friday, they have been experimenting with new flavors most of which don't include the Current Conditions screen anymore.

Local Forecast / Re: April 2009 playlist delayed!

« on: May 21, 2009, 07:21:36 PM »

It does NOT work for WMG copyrights...only UMG. Tavores, try changing the file name and make sure the video doesnt' start right at the LF. It should start with an LF opener and put something like "OVERNITEMAYWX" as the  file name. It worked with my videos with Russ Freeman and Norman Brown.

That's why it's not working, I'm not uploading a LF video w/ the song, I'm uploading the full length song.

Mine wasn't muted either. You should save it as private first, don't put any song info, then once it's done processing..you can put the song info back and make it public..It always works for me.

Thanks for that tip! Thats something I will try

That doesn't work at all, the audio was still disabled.

Just something to note, if anyone is thinking about uploading a video with Third Wish by Joyce Cooling, I wouldn't do it, it's also strongly copyrighted, I tried to upload the song and it muted the sound.
