Okay, is it just me, or are the jokes getting annoying now? They were funny at first, now it just seems unfitting.

...
Memphis, here's your morning weather
That's what is seen on the IS2 apparently in place of the jokes

As I said earlier, the jokes are only on the SD IS.  The IS2 just says "Hello [city name], this is your weather."
I've actually been seeing the jokes on the IS2 here. I haven't checked on the SD IS, though, since I haven't tuned in right at the beginning of the LF.

Still no LDL as of 7:20PM CT during longform! Could someone let TWC know so they can look in to this? This isn't Weather All The Time. Why should DISH and DTV?? be left out?

If they're still having problems I apologize, but how do we know?

Sorry if I'm a little late to the "comments" party, but overall I think it looks good!  The graphics and animations look much more modern than they were before.  I do have a couple of comments however that may be some of the experts on here could help out with...

  • During the LOT8s, is there a plan to change up the background images?  I'm in Albany, NY and cactus's and dessert scenes don't seem to fit.. :lol:
  • In the previews, during live shows, I saw that the time and temperature rotated (above TWC logo), similar to the previous HD LDL.  Would be nice to have that for the main city, as there are now several cities and towns in the rotation.

Thanks,
Chris

The blank LDL Is for the IS2. That's where the mini ldl shows weather all the time. Since they can't make them both run each other, one has to go.

The Daytona Beach IS2 has the jokes.

So, are you saying TWC can't show anything on Satellite?

OK, sorry for the wrong information guys. :P I must have just been watching at the wrong times because I didn't see any on my IS2.

Dish and Direct TV can use their own Stars to overlay their Stars' output over the national LDL, as in the past.  There's bound to some difficulty at first.

The whole system has had a few hiccups, but has otherwise been pretty successful for a flash-cut at 4:00 this morning, and with, apparently, rather little preparation time.  (The worst blooper I saw was at 5:00 this afternoon when the squeezeback didn't happen and the LDL/sidebar just got switched off after a few minutes.)

Just give it a little time.  Once things get ironed out, you might see some improvements.

It happened during weather center live, as they started weather center the ldl and sidebar were transparent thus making the national sidebar and ldl show up, then they realized they screwed up and turned off the graphics

The clock on LOT8s changes with the time of day. It's Black/Green for mid-evening to early morning and White/Red for mid-morning to early evening. I've noticed that today.

I cant see how It can't have hiccups!
