While I like the new LDL, I think as far as usefulness is concerned, the LDA is far more useful. It has radar, a nowcast, etc. The LDL just has current weather and a 2 day.


Even if The LDL was to use the Radar on the bottom left side (like the LDA does) i think it would be an awesome fit.

Hopefully that is in the works Below is my take on what the LDL might look like full time.

 :offtopic:  Has anyone seen the HD LDA this morning? It is frozen on "Memphis", which is good for me because that's where I live. But, get this: The Kansas City, MO radar is being shown with a "Memphis" label  :blink:

The blank area where you put the radar  is for ads.

Is there a chance in the future that this LDL would be used for all HD programming? and take the place of the LDA?

That's what I've been wondering. :yes: I don't like the LDA, but Tyler says it is much more useful, so TWC will take into account what the average viewer wants and likely keep it.

Well, it's weird how the design of the long form LDL is inconsistent with the LDA. You'd think they'd aim for a uniform appearance across the board.

Probably since I doubt the HD STAR has an LDA

I still haven't seen this, sadly.  I think it's a step in the right direction.  Utilize the lower third of the screen with scrolling information while showing different info in the other 2/3 of the screen.  I'm VERY excited for the HDStar.  Then I can FINALLY get some use from TWC HD!

Right now, TWC's graphics are kind of all over the place, at least to me.

That's pretty amazing that we get to go without the LDA on the "main" shows now! I really didn't think they'd do something like this. Hopefully it's permanent.
