In that case, I guess that would mean simply making the bar flush with the bottom of the screen. It's been a while since I've looked at the demo video.

For what it is, it would just look weird if it was flush with the bottom since the bar has transparencies its self.

Three fears: Big birds, spiders and unexpected pregnancies. Or the one big fear that one night my door bell will ring, I will open it and outside there will be a big pregnant bird covered in spiders!

Everything Else TWC / Re: Where does TWC get their graphics from?

And I'm pretty sure skytracker is WSI-based, isn't it?

That doesn't count as graphics.

I guess that means removing the blue bar below the content area of the LDL, making the content flush with the bottom of the screen.

The only problem is that it might look awkward if the top of the HD LDL terminates below the start of the content area of the lower thirds and other graphics.

The HD LDL doesn't have a blue bar below it... Its transparent below the LDL... No bar...

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Comcast Sucks.

I have their "digital preferred" package, with one premium (HBO) and one cable box. The other two TV's have expanded basic. I have no HD channels. My computer says my internet connection speed is 100 Mbps.

Yeah, that just means you have a 10/100 mbps ethernet card, you actual internet speed is different from that.

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?

That's a little hit and miss...

TWC does indeed create their own graphics and animations, however when it comes to weather related graphics (graphics with realtime weather obs / forecasts) they are created using TWC customized templates from WSI...

I used to have a DirectTV and Dish Network subscription while I was in Atlanta, I brought my receivers up to Canada and let the subscription run out... I am now with a Canadian cable company, however to get TWC I have to ither re-activate my DirecTV / Dish Network subscrption, or get it the way I am now, which is directly off of AMC 14, the same satellite that the STARs pull the signal from.

Several things: first, good lcuk on that Kyle. Your gonna need it! 

I've been at it for a few hours now.. moving everything, its all muddy as well so its alot of messy work!

Second, I thought it was illegal to cut down tree's as you please, unless you own it (applies only to us Americans, not to Kyle). 

Think I care? *As I walk towards neighbours tree with chain saw* "Gotta get TWC, Gotta get TWC, Gotta get TWC"

Welcome aboard firestar!  :sunglasses: 

Yes, welcome to our community.. Hope you enjoy your stay!

On another note, I have decided that I want TWC back in my home on my TV... I have made several attempts this week to mount dishes to get the signal, only to have it blocked by trees, houses, or other antennas... Today I have decided to take on my "Mission TWC" project and have TWC locked and in my house by 5:00PM EST, no matter the effort or trees I have to cut down!

I'll be taking pictures of everything I'm doing, because I can.

Seriously, wish me luck folks!
