New Graphics coming to TWC

1 more quick question.

Is it just "temporary" that the local on 8's play's this 1 single song repeatedly over and over again ??

Too early to tell. So far, it would appear that it's this one piece, and that's it. We won't really know until tonight at the earliest.

oh okay, alright then.
Im just happy  that we dont need to listen to the automated voice-overs anymore. I never liked that really over these past few years, where the computer voice talks over every single screen almost completely blocking out the songs.

Vocal Local was great, until some genius thought it'd be a good idea to slap some songs with lyrics underneath it-terrible idea. Also, it may just be my ears, but I think I'm hearing subtle changes in the LF track as the morning progresses.

TWC - Memphis IntelliStar - Wind Advisory/Hard Freeze Warning - November 12, 2013

Here's a video showing the warning crawl error, how the label doesn't change for multiple alerts.

I was hoping for a return of the ID but oh well.  However, THANK YOU for adding Clouds to the HD National LO8!!!!! I've been wanting that since TWC HD debued!  Also, My guess was right, TWC is using their new Theme for the LO8 which is fine with me!

Also, I love the backrouds of the LO8 showing Daylight coming to the East, now the Central region.

Why are some people saying its letterboxed?  The DISH SD channel is not letterboxed shouldn't all SD feeds be the same way?

I forgot to add, THANK YOU for putting the time back on the LDL!

Hate the radar on the SD IntelliStar. I can't even read the cities

Anyone else seeing black video on the SD feed with iStars?

This is one of the bugs I was told about. Remember the intellistars have basemaps that are around 2gb. Thats a lot of data that needs to be downloaded. The maps now aren't the final solution. Newer maps should populate over time though it could be a while.

A few of you are already seeing the new maps populate

Martin do you know what, if anything, is going to happen with Weatherscan?

No I haven't heard of anything. As far as I know there hasn't been any further development of that platform but I could be wrong. My guess is that it will be supported for a few more years and eventually discontinued.

All I can say is.... WOW!

The radar...

Yep. I was.

You have a different colored radar topography map than mine, the one I'm seeing on my LF is like the one in the demo videos that were posted here.

EDIT: Nevermind, I backtracked a few pages. If I had of kept reading I would have gotten my answer.

That should be updated by now if it isn't already.. the "different topography" you're referring to is in fact the original 2004-2013 IS basemap

New Orleans SD IS got the correct maps - it finished during a LOT8.  First radar shots still green, by summary it was white.

I will say it looks like the font needs to be bolder on the radar maps, it's kinda hard to read on SD.  Haven't had a chance to look at HD yet.

Just had a "complete" LOT8 - looked pretty tight, with no rejoin issues.

im just south of ya, radar map has updated, transitions are better, only thing left is the actual radar should be changing from this pixelated, drop-shadow looking stuff to the more smooth radar like online... according to the preview videos.

I also see my LF likes to tell jokes huh.

Like this one I saw

Atlanta, will you need an ark, we NOAA guy.

One of the ones that I saw:

Memphis, nobody puts Cantore in a corner.

So the IntelliStar is Mr. Funny now apparently lol
