Forgot to mention, I saw A Black screen with the words "No Video Input" with a countdown clock and a brief view of a WeatherStar XL CC Screen. I am really Confused! I need to sit down.

But don't you have the IntelliStar??

For those who haven't seen this in their area yet, this is what the Weather Bulletin Alert Page looks like when there's more than one alert issued. The weather related icon that appears on the left side of the alert is removed.

Also I've noticed on the HD feed that the HD National Forecast video has remained scaled up in the left hand corner like it is when the LDL/Sidebar is present, in fact it was present allbeit no information at the time. They probably should keep this way and keep the LDL/Sidebar enabled with information or make the transition into the Local on the 8s segment smoother because they way it was where the video feed suddenly out of the blue popped up fullscreen or the Local on the 8s intro would lock up was very abrupt and didn't look like a clean transition at all. :no:

My guess is that I saw Zapata, TX' Weatherstar XL. They have one near Laredo also

I think this is the most colorful radar map you will get on the new IS, thanks to Boreas :P

I mentioned this before but one of the biggest issues I have with the new local forecast and LDL is that they need to alternate the time with the current temp.  If you miss the current temp when they show it, you have to wait for all the cities to cycle through before you can see it again.  This feature was shown on the video of the simulated graphics.  It needs to happen.

It seems the local radar bug is fixed for my star unit.
I checked this morning and am still getting the local radar, with no precip.

I guess that was an error. But that format is better. You got the 24 hour forecast and the hourly forecast.

Does anyone know how many background pictures they use on the IS2? Seems like every time I watch, I see a new picture.

Was wondering the same thing about the IS. There are tons of different backgrounds, I have seen some repeat, however.

Okay, I know that the font that TWC is using is Akko. Does anyone have a link of where I can get it as a free download for my computer?

Over 240 different backgrounds.

Hey guys, I quit watching TWC for awhile, and I haven't been in this website in ages. And I know I'm late to the party, but I think these graphics are great. They look very British.

Also the new LOT8s music is a lot better than that current crap they had.

This channel has regained a viewer.

This post is regarding the issue about the text  for the weekend being hard to read on the 7 day, there's a fairly quick and easy way to fix this: Add the dark pillar bars to "SAT" and "SUN" and there will never be an issue of the BG interfering with the text.

Also about the city markers on the local/regional radars: Add the light gray rectangle they use for the radars on live programming underneath the city names to make it easier to read when there's precipitation.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, there's an example below. Those are just my two cents though. :)
