Well it launched 7 minutes ago-give it a few and see what happens.

Viewing the satellite LF. Wonderful music-but everything is too small-can't read it. Also, it lasted maybe 30 seconds....hiccup perhaps?

Glad they are finally formatting maps and video for 16:9.

They need to adjust the lighting at the green screen it's to dark.
Music under the forecast segments has to go! It's distracting and annoying.
Don't like snow being blue on the maps. It should be white.

Too much confusion when they show cloud cover. WSI has transitioned to blue and so have many stations who use their products.

Here are some shots from the SD feed. No local weather on the LOT8s or LDL yet.

Nothing seemed to happen here during the first Local on the 8's a few minutes ago here in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

The gray bar at the bottom of the screen went blank, i heard music playing for about 5 seconds while the rest of the screen was a still image (nothing happened)

Then it looked like i got the satellite feed during the whole LOT8's, the bar at the bottom was still empty until it ended.

It never showed any "local" info here.

Just like the 2nd-to-last image beanboy89 posted
edit: looks like full satellete feed currently at this momment now, 2:18 AM. no bar at the bottom at all, i like that! :)

And im glad there's no more voice-over narration.

TWC please stop calling it a 7 day forecast when you don't have enough time to show 7 Days.
Just now they only went from Today to Saturday. Go back to the Weekly Planner and make it 5 days.
Once again the music under the forecasts has to go.

Just an observation, but a lot of the text, icons and maps seem too small. Seemed most problematic for viewing during the 7 day forecast and national LOT8 feed.

What a letdown. HD feed is letterboxed on SD, and being that we don't have the IntelliStar 2, we see the national feed. Many viewers will be unhappy if they don't have the IS2.
The IS will be updated but that is a longer rollout.

So you're saying like sometime today, or within the next few months?

Martin correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe what is being referred to the time to download the update and reset with the firmware/software update

All I heard is that there were delays but nothing specific. I would expect within the day but you never know. Rolling out a major update to hundreds of ten year old computers can take time :P
