Bug Reports / Cutoff Text

« on: March 22, 2009, 07:34:27 PM »

I'm not sure if you guys are aware of this or not but I thought I would share it.  Sometimes, the NWS makes their forecast ridiculously long and it gets cutoff at the bottom.  (See Image)

I'm not sure if there is a way to make the forecast shorter or making that last line show up or not show up, etc.  I figured you guys would have a good idea of what to do.  Thanks!

Help and Support / Re: Extended Forecast Issue

I totally understand about the time thing.  Hopefully there will be something that presents itself to make the extended forecasts and conditions easily accessible.  Is there a way to grab the NWS RSS feeds by location (say...zip code)?  Maybe that would work?  *shrug*  Just throwing that out there.

lol, it also happens in my area so I set my 5-day to Las Vegas.  It's nice to see warm temperatures on the screen!

I totally know what you mean!  Thanks for doing all the awesome work on the emulator.  I have put some suggestions in sporadic places throughout the forum and I hope that, in time, they will be added in some form to the emulator!  Feel free to let me know if you need any graphical assistance with overlays/backgrounds/etc.  I am willing to help.

Sweet!  I am looking forward to whenever it finally gets installed so I can watch TWC HD in all its glory   If they add the screens that are currently shown (i.e. detailed currents, day-part forecast, almanac, etc.), I think the HD Star will be a marvelous piece of technology!!

I have a couple of alternate themes that I would be willing to make available for anyone who wants them, with Martin & Brian's permission, of course.  Perhaps even the ability to have them uploaded onto the config server for easy selection!

I like all of them...perhaps the ability to switch to whichever of the four a person likes?

Local Forecast / Re: Local on the 8's HD

« on: March 20, 2009, 07:44:59 PM »

I think from the look of the video, TWC is trying to make it all fancy with eye candy but does anyone else think that the flashy graphics are taking the focus away from the actual information on the screen (or the lack-thereof with not having the detailed local current conditions right at the beginning of the LF)?  To add to that, has the look of the HDLF changed at all since its introduction?  Is there an actual LDL now aside from the time/temp?

I noticed tonight that when it shows the N/A for "flurries," it also cuts off the ends of the word Flurries for the condition so it looks like "LURRIE".

I agree that it's much better with the new music...but I think the new open is cooler than the old one.  Hooray WC!
