Local Forecast / Re: New LDL

I'm still disappointed that they haven't gotten the HD IStar working on a local basis AND disappointed that the flavor of the current Star hasn't been updated in a long time.  I'm sure many people are in agreement!  lol

WOO!!  Glad to hear that, Martin!  Thanks for the update and I look forward to seeing what's new.  Any idea of when we can expect the updates as of now?

So, it has been a long time since I have seen any new information on upcoming emulator changes/additions so I thought I would hit it again.  I'd also like to know what other peoples' thoughts are on additions/changes for the program.  Also, what's up with CINE lately?

I was also wondering this.  There are numerous things that would be awesome to update and include in the emulator.  Here are some suggestions...

So, I think they finally finished airing all of the Tornado Road episodes.  They were on after 1a one night.  It wasn't such a bad show...and Doug, I think you should get a cool partner, someone who is excited to chase storms and help get into the middle of the action.  I'm sure any of us on the board would gladly tag along!

What bugged me about the series is that for 'historical purposes' or whatever excuse they gave, the producers put all kinds of stock footage from other events instead of utilizing more of the footage that was shot during the actual trips.  Oh well, that's how it goes.

At least they finished airing the series, I guess!

I concur with Martin.  I think they should just concentrate on getting forecasts right, secede from NBC and return to an all-weather network.

Tornado Road is a show produced by Thom Beers (Ice Road Truckers, Ax Men, etc.) to compete with Discovery's hit series Storm Chasers.  The Weather Channel debuted it the same night as the season premiere of Storm Chasers but didn't keep it at a consistent timeslot.  It's new to programming this year but who knows if they will actually finish out the series or not.  They aired all new episodes for the entire week after the premiere and then shoved it to the back burner.  It's an ok show but I prefer Storm Chasers to be honest.  I would be interested in seeing it completed though.

Thanks for the update!  I will say that my location is still way off, unless it hasn't automatically been updated to the emulator.  I just saw it say sunset at 4:49p and NWS has 6:56p.  Sunrise said something like 5:38a and it is 7:35a NWS.  Zipcode here is 58202 and here's our local climatology. 

I also made a bunch of suggestions for the emulator...I haven't received any reply whether or not they were good ideas and perhaps possible additions to the program.  I'd like to know if they could easily be implemented.  Thanks for checking!  Here is that post.

They could have just upgraded the STAR v 1 or 2 to the HD feed, change the fonts and screen size and that would have worked until they get a new graphics package (probably another year or two).
