Noticed something during a severe thunderstorm warning last night. As the alert crawled, the LDL wasn't active, but the sidebar was. Sometimes even occurred when there wasn't a warning crawl. On another side note, the national LDL's clock looks to be about 2 minutes slow.

Here on FiOS the TWC HD National LDL clock is 1min behind real time.

They changed something in the lighting on Saturday and now there is a very bright yellowish light on the OCMs when they are at the green screen.
You can notice where the dress is a lighter green from the light being cast on it.

If the green screen is on the other side of the studio I don't get why this light reflection is happening.

I saw a little of the Gemini coverage last night.  I like the red TWC logo a lot and I find myself wishing they would just use it all the time, but then I guess it would lose its Storm Alert impact.  :dunno:  At least the normal turquoise logo is still better than the old blue one IMHO.

There's a big and annoying error with my IntelliStar. The CC Screen is blank most of the time today and sometimes it shows the Current conditions. Anyone else getting this error? It's bad.

I really wish I could see what TWC was doing behind the scenes.  The re-launch was over a month ago, and yet many errors still remain present on the local forecasts.  I know it's all about patience, but I wonder if the technical crews are really working around the clock to fix the issues, or if the LF has, once again, become a secondary project for this channel.  Perhaps the holidays slowed things down. :thinking:

It does seem to be a rather janky update. Like I mentioned on Alex's FB, maybe some of the problem has to do with the 60 second local and the IS is having a difficult time trying to handle everything that it needs to do in such a short amount of time (loading the screen, estimating the narration time on text based before it decides if it has time to show the next text screen and/or daypart, or if it should just skip directly to the ext. forecast.)
It's just a thought.. I don't really know much about the intellistar's system build, but the IS is now over 10 years old isn't it?

Considering technicians from TWC may be reading this board to see what the technical complaints are, I don't think it's wise to be saying, "fix it or I'll kick you." :hmm:

My Intellistar is at it again, and is still annoyingly now showing the CC Screen! It happens in a pattern, one LF it's blank, the next it has The CC. It also seems my Intellistar and Intellistar 2 have different temperature readings. It's very annoying! I wanna go to TWC and kick them!
Maybe instead of complaining about it and making threats like that, you should go to the Weather Star tech support board here and create a topic about it :rolleyes:
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

Just got home and turned on TWC and the HD border is black/Grey and the TWC logo is red! Along with the SA music on the LO8, I'm liking this SA Look!

Dat red LDL though... :3

That means that the Intellistar is upset:censored:   :rofl2:

I understand I made a mistake and I won't let anything slip out like that ever again.  :happy:

Now that the graphics have been around for awhile the one thing I still don't like are the white maps with no terrain on them. TWC in my opinion went a bit to simple on the maps and I hope they make changes this year.
The updated graphics on Weather Nation are much better by simply having the terrain on the maps.

I thought it might just be one of the live weather updates not using OCM's due to the holiday because they were using the live show music and the IS local LDL was still on screen.
