OCMs & Personalities / Re: Dave Schwartz Returns

« on: April 16, 2014, 07:00:11 PM »

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW HAPPY I AM. This literally made my day. I'm so happy he's back. I miss him so much!!

NEWS FLASH!

I'm honestly ecstatic to see him back at TWC as well, but I don't know for sure how he'd do with them under their current direction. In recent years, OCMs have had to eliminate their "personalities" while presenting, so I wonder now if he'll be saying his infamous "my friend" or not.

I wonder why he's never released "For The Touch?" That's my favorite song by him.

For the Touch is available as part of the Network Music Ensemble collection.

I know. I was just wondering why he's never released it on one of his CDs.

Honestly, there's a lot Chris could have released, but I'm just glad that a lot of my favorite songs from him are out now.

I don't know if it's another STAR, but the interactive forecast isn't back yet (using the red button).

The local weather app we all know and love isnt a star at all, it was put up by the receiver itself..

DirecTV still has 24131 (or another IntelliStar), because this is currently active..

Hopefully we still have DTV customers on here,  I would be interested in How WN is different compared to their website and roku streams. Are there commercials?  Does the Alert LDL stay on all the time if needed? Could someone take video?  Thanks!

I heard someone calling for me?

Yes, WeatherNation does show commercials on DirecTV, but it's definitely more content than commercials, and the LDL does stay on during these commercials if there's an alert, and the commercials squeeze back. I have yet to see a time though where the LDL on WN is off during commercials on DirecTV. Haven't watched the national stream in a while though, but it may be different there than on DirecTV. I have a Sony TV with internet capability, and WN comes on that. From what I have seen, the clock is in sync on the stream to what it is on DirecTV, but the segments and the LDL cities aren't.

Saw it today here as well. Something tells me it's intentional, because notice how the clock is absent.

Comparing Evan's still from Dec. 22nd, https://twctodayforums.com/forums/programming/new-graphics-coming-to-twc/msg187453/#msg187453,
Noticed the storm mode background colors are a little darker compared to the last time it was used.

That could just be difference in your capture cards.

Now that I think about it, this is the first time the IS LF has ever matched the current on-air look. I specifically say LF, since I'm aware the 2008 LDL matched the on-air look at the time.

Not really. The IntelliStar technically matched the on-air look during the BWTL era, alongside the SLF and the XL.

My Intellistar is at it again, and is still annoyingly now showing the CC Screen! It happens in a pattern, one LF it's blank, the next it has The CC. It also seems my Intellistar and Intellistar 2 have different temperature readings. It's very annoying! I wanna go to TWC and kick them!

Maybe instead of complaining about it and making threats like that, you should go to the Weather Star tech support board here and create a topic about it
