I'm watching First Outlook.  I don't normally stay up this late, so I don't know if these have been around for a while or if they are just being added today, but they're using a new font on Skytracker and they have also added new HD graphics.

I'm pulling an all-nighter and hopefully going to bed after the first hour of YWT. Then I'll wake up in the mid-afternoon hours and get ready for the EE HD launch.

Same here.  I'm afraid to go to sleep because everytime I say I'm going to wake up early, I end up waking up late.  By hours.   

Same. If I try to sleep, either I won't be able to, or I'll oversleep. Caffiene. Yum.

Not only will I find drinks with a lot of caffeine, I'll also watch videos on YouTube and keep clicking "Random Article" on Wikipedia.  All of this for 6 hours, 25 minutes, and 4 seconds.

I wonder if anymore updates for the SD Satellite will take effect

Yes Victor, they're going to completely redesign the SD Satellite LF again even though they already did last week.

You hit the nail on the head. I hear it's gonna look something like this:

That's exactly what it's going to look like.

Programming and Graphics / Re: The Weather Channel Logo

I like them both, although I think that they just need to tweak the current one, for example, adding a gradient background.

Also, there needs to be some space between the bottom of your TV and where the text starts because depending on your tv (it might not show the picture size the exact size) and the way your headend relays the signal, the text might get bumped off-screen a little.

Oh, definitely true.  The 4000 constantly does that at the top of the screen with tube TVs.  TWC's logo is cut off a little.

Well, seeing that it's possible that the peeps from TWC check out these forums I have one thing to say... please make the LDL on the HD channel single height.  While the standard definition IntelliSTAR needs double height, the high def version doesn't need it and might never need it.  Just my two cents.

What exactly is your definition of single height?

Making the LDL "single height" would mean taking off the extra blue portion from the bottom.  For example, single height would look like this...

[LOWER DISPLAY LINE]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                         Right Now >  Washington, D.C.   72   (pic of sun)  Sunny
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...while double height would look like this.

[LOWER DISPLAY LINE]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                        Right Now >  Washington, D.C.    72   (pic of sun)  Sunny

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The extra space at the bottom is what makes it double-height.

I'm pretty sure most of us HATE the LDL. 

This is why I say that they need to change it from double height to single height.  On TWC HD's satellite forecasts, there's a whole bunch of useless blue space underneath the single height area.  Those double height bars annoy me...
