The LDL & Sidebar has been glitchy more than anything else since the launch today. On the HD feed they just turned it off.

I notice these errors seem to happen most during transitions from either commercials to live programming or the LF to live programming etc. They're having a hard time scaling up/down the video feed so it doesn't overlap the LDL/Sidebar.

Does anyone have a metro forecast map?

Also I noticed some cities on my radar are out of place or are missing their place marker (just a city name, no dot on the map).

No, I haven't seen one yet. The screens move at a swift pace as it is, I wouldn't think there would be time for metro maps in 1 minute unless it's supposed to alternate with another forecast screen.

52°F Partly Cloudy

Temps are steadily falling since the Arctic Cold Front swept through. We hit our high in the low 60s a couple of hours ago and have fallen about 10 degrees since.

Weird, I can see the images just fine on my desktop.

I'm probably in the minority, but I didn't/don't mind the background music during the live programming at all. As long as it's kept at a soft volume level.

Well it didn't take long for the playlists to become history but I suppose anything is better than vocals

Martin said that production music is temporary. Who knows what kind of music they'll be playing when they change it.

I really like how there's local info on the HD feed now. We didn't have the IS2 before.

You have the IS2 now if you have local info on the HD feed 

I'm still stuck with the national feed on the HD feed. Which really sucks because I hate watching the SD feed for picture quality reasons, but I don't have a choice but to tune into it from time to time if I do need to see a LF.

I used to live in Cross City, FL and our cable head end at an XL. I'm curious to know what people with the XL are seeing? Do you guys see the new look of the locals or the old XL look?

Anybody that didn't have the IS is still seeing their legacy STAR.

Here's a video for example

TWC "Weather All The Time" Debut + the Weatherstar XL lives on!

EDIT: I wanted to see if the afternoon edition of WCL is the same as the early morning edition (and it is). They had some major hiccups during the teaser and the opener completely froze.

Although I love the new look, it's light and modern and refreshing... I feel like LOT8's are rushed and less informative. For example, they don't detail tomorrow's forecast... just today and tonight and there's no hourly forecast for the day which I thought we were going to have from the videos I saw previewing the new look before. I wonder if those will be added or if this is it. I do like the new look overall tho... hope the background changes from the desert look lol. I live far from a desert. 

It'll probably be there soon, I have it on my LF.

This must be apart of those errors that come with the launch, but I noticed there's no weather bulletin displaying yet even though were under a Freeze Warning and Wind Advisory. I haven't seen a crawl either.

Like this one I saw

Atlanta, will you need an ark, we NOAA guy.

The radar...

Hate the radar on the SD IntelliStar. I can't even read the cities

Anyone else seeing black video on the SD feed with iStars?

Yep. I was.

You have a different colored radar topography map than mine, the one I'm seeing on my LF is like the one in the demo videos that were posted here.

EDIT: Nevermind, I backtracked a few pages. If I had of kept reading I would have gotten my answer.

Looks like the Atlanta Braves are moving out of the city imp. (not to another major city, just out into the suburbs) and a lot of folks are very upset about it.

Meanwhile a new Falcons stadium was recently approved and will be finished in 2017 imp, the GA Dome I've been told will be blown to smithereens afterwards.

Hurricane Central / Re: Super Typhoon Haiyan

« on: November 11, 2013, 11:01:24 PM »

I've been listening and looking at the devastation from this Super Typhoon and I honestly don't know what to say about it, it's incredible. The photos in the media and around the internet tell the story all on it's own. It's unfortunate so many lives had to perish and as much as we try to prepare for worst case scenario hurricanes like Haiyan, I don't believe even we as Americans could or would be prepared for a storm of that intensity that would cover a region from Florida to Canada all at once.

All kinds of phenomenal feats with this monster storm. The ACE from this storm alone out surpassed the ACE in the Atlantic Basin this entire season! I also can't get over the size, talk about a freakin' storm on steroids! Hurricane Katrina and Sandy could have been this typhoon's children, that's just how massive this thing was.

EDIT: Another thing that amazed me was that eyewall, it was a BEAST! I don't think I've ever seen such a perfect looking eyewall in my life.
