Local Forecast / Current TWC issues

« on: October 14, 2008, 12:45:31 AM »

Since last week, I've noticed that the IntelliStar in my area is cued 1 second late, the narration/voice-over is loud and the music is quieter (like at a CD quality mode).

MikeM2010, Victor (Slingbox), Tyler, Chris, and Matt also noticed it.

I'm guessing this has to do with the recent sun outage last week.

Who needs NBC Weather Plus when I got ABC affiliate WFAA's Xpress 8.2?

Thanks!

I wonder what this background would look like with the other icons sets?

Just today, I recently created what the satellite background should've looked like after the IntelliStar was revamped on October 23, 2007.


With that being said, here's my take on the Three-Day satellite forecast.

TWC called, they want their Hillary Andrews back.

Anyway, as for Wx+, I never cared for it; it got old in a hurry as repetitive as it was. I guess it was useful for a quick check on the weather, though.

ROFL.

Nice work on the new Icons. I especially love the Fog and Windy and the Fog and Hazy ones. Keep up the good work!

I remember that network. I would watch Kids WB and some Sunday Night comedies from 1995-2000. The only other shows I would watch on that network are "Drew Carey's Green Screen Show" and "Blue Collar TV". Great times.

Now we have the sucky CW.

BTW, KDAF-TV in my area has changed the station branding from "CW33" to "The 33" as of September.

Everything Else TWC / Re: Sun Outage Period Beginning

« on: October 07, 2008, 12:53:42 AM »

But what I don't get is that how come the other channels are unaffected?

Because they're carried on different satellites. All the different satellites will experience the sun outages at different times.

Oh, I see.

Come to think about it, during one of those "sun outage" moments in 2001, not only did CNBC, TBS, TNT, CNN suffer those outages in my area, I saw a couple scrambled channels blacked out. All I could see was the blinking white squares on the black-ish gray line. LOL!!!

IntelliStar concept beta run

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JebpdfEYK4s

WOW!!! I wish the background on that emulator is the current IS background. The only suggestion I can make is to add the forecast sounds/videos on the right side of the "Local Forecast" segment. Other than that, excellent work!! I especially like the fading in/out transition.
