Utilizing the current IS background and window templates provided by Martin and the old LDL bar by Billy, here's the IntelliSTAR that was revamped in October 23, 2007.

Local Forecast / Re: Satellite Warning Crawl activated...

« on: September 05, 2008, 08:41:45 PM »

I was wondering when this was finally going to happen! TWC is currently using the orange warning crawl on the Dish Intellistar to crawl the latest public advisory on Hanna. Also, the time is currently frozen on Mountain Time, but it isn't labeled at all, just like a local Intellistar.

Being that Dish Network is headquartered in Meridian, Colorado; I think that's why it's frozen on Mountain Time.

I'll probably ask the TWC STAR Team on TWC Classics to make some minor adjustments if you haven't already.

Local Forecast / Is it me, or...

« on: September 04, 2008, 09:21:53 AM »

...has the "Local On The 8s" segments shortened down to 1 minute?

This morning at 7:48AM CDT, the LF has shown Current Conditions, Today's Regional Forecast, 24-Hour Forecast and the 7-Day Outlook. And again at 8:08AM CDT with CC, Radar, 24-Hour Forecast, and 7-Day Outlook.

Is this temporary or permanent?

Thanks Roland!

(In response to MikeM2010) Yeah, those day titles do seem a bit small don't they? LOL!!

I'll be making a few improvements later this week.

I do have a NOAA Weather Radio at home, though I'll probably get a newer one in the future. My best bet would be to get one from the Midland series.

Like the font updates, but the extended crawl looks bad.  It could have stayed where it was and still looked really good.

Personally, I like the previous Traffic/Ad crawl size as well.

Could this be a breakthrough for the Warning LDLs?

Hillarious!! Excellent job!

It has gone back to normal since 3:28PM CDT.

Something must be really wrong with the satellite forecast system...

I've also notice between 12:58PM & 3:20PM CDT that after the LF is finished, the Trammel feed and the satellite LF ran for 5 to 10 more seconds before resuming to programming.
