I think you've got it backwards Evan.. a new STAR to head ends for TWC would actually be beneficial since the units are leased (?), and a subscription to TWC
anyways.. full screen LF @ :08 now.. is this only on DP/WN?

The only way I can imagine marine STARs seeing the LO screen now is if there's a radar outage, but even then other products might show, such as the regional CC.

« on: January 27, 2012, 06:37:07 PM »I got this email from my cable provider this past September when I inquired about the squeezeback.Wonder why your headend refuses to upgrade.. if there's enough hype from viewers, they should. The IntelliStar actually costs less than the XL from what I hear, which is quite ironic if your headend refuses to upgrade.
Thanks for writing to Shentel. I did not have immediate answers to your questions, so I had to go investigate. Here is what I have found out.
You are correct. About three weeks ago, the Weather Channel changed the Star Platform to only show local on the 8s at :28 and :58 past the hour. We will not be upgrading to Intellistar because TWC has announced an entirely new platform that is supposed to be even better and they have run out of Intellistars. So we have to make do until the new option is ready which our engineering guy said it would be mid-1012.
I'm guessing all intellistars will be upgraded to the new platform and all remaining headends will upgrade to the intellistar. I hope they retire the legacy stars. I just can't see TWC using 5 different Star platforms out in the field. I just remembered about the email or i would have posted it back in Sept.

Brian, I'd hate to tell you this, but TWC doesn't have very specific flavors now like they used to back in the 1990s. It's the same flavor at :08/:38, :18/:48, and :28/:58 every hour, every day. If you want to know when to see them, check out the :28/:58 LFs during live programming, and you can only see them if your STAR does not have marine forecast/tides products on them.

« on: January 26, 2012, 06:07:56 PM »Guys, I think the return of the L-Bar/squeezeback is for good.I think you got that mixed up with full-screen locals.. the squeezebacks are 4 times an hour.Remember several months ago when they removed it, the reason being for "little tweaks?" Well, I think the addition of the ad-crawl, and whatever else they changed, are the "little tweaks" they did. Why it would take that long to ad an ad-crawl and make many miniscule tweaks is beyond me.
What I don't understand is why TWC is only showing this 2 times an hour. Maybe it is still in a "beta test" and will soon be implemented? Also, from the videos you all posted, I noticed that they are showing an ad in the video screen section instead of live coverage. Seems odd to me, unless TWC is now despearately relying on more ads, but I will admit that a squeezeback with live coverage was very distracting. What do I focus on?

Also, the logo overlay is the same one that was seen on TWC HD for the LDA/LDA LDL combo from March 2010 through September 2010, instead of the rotating TWC, TWC Mobile, and weather.com seen on 2:00 locals for satellite viewers

That's why they are ETA's cable headends do that all the time with the incorrect projection of channel additions 
Also, IIRC, the launch was for BHN Tampa Bay only
