PME still had the LDA/LDL combo. Other than that, it's amazing to see the full 16:9 glory on TWC HD again! :dance:

We'll only see the new HD LDL and 16:9 picture on the "main shows": WUWA, YWT, 7pm WC, WV, and WN.

Once the IntelliStar2 rolls out, HD STAR viewers won't see the LDA at all. The IntelliStar2 will have a 15% and 33% LDL as the current SD IntelliStar does.

is the star going to roll out to all companies that carry TWC HD, or just some? i've been a little confused on that topic.

and, how many LDL's exist on TWC, again? lol  :P

Any cable company that carries TWC is required to have a STAR (as part of the carriage agreement). So, any cable company that has an SD IntelliStar now, and provides and HD feed, will  be required to have an IntelliStar2 (the HD STAR).

As for the LDLs, hmm I'm not sure. Here's the ones I can think off of the top of my head:
  • Domestic IntelliStar 15%
  • Domestic IntelliStar 33%
  • Left Display Area
  • HD LDL
  • HD L-Bar

And then eventually the 15% and 33% LDLs when the IntelliStar2 launches.

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!
....the waiting is the hardest part :P

lol, ahhh Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.  Yeah, I finally saw it.  Definitely looks schnazzier than the SD Star version.  I'm still waiting for the STARs to be updated to include the HD feed.

Doesn't have to be, since you'll only see this on the HD channel.  Of course, that doesn't explain the dead space on the other side of the HD LDL.

IIRC the HD logo is in the exact same place it's been in since the 3/11/10 graphics launch. :unsure:

The "Dead Space" on the Left side of the LDL is for as Tyler pointed out Ad space

The only Ad TWC seems to be testing is the "Wake Up With AL."

Which I've yet to see used on that HD LDL.

As an aside, anyone's Intellistar still out?  The one here in New Orleans (don't have the ID) has been out since last night at least.

you misread, i said 16:9 safe...not 4:3 safe. i didn't mention anything about SD.

it definitely has shifted (for this new LDL that is), i'll try to capture a few shots. hopefully this will show what i'm talking about.

edit: based off of the pictures on the first page of this topic, it appears fine---i wonder what gives? still gonna take screen shots, and maybe play around with the settings on my tv.

the logo is safe on the LDA/5 Day Forecast combination, but with the new LDL it's off

Is DirecTV supposed to be getting a national Intellistar2, or are they going to remain without a Star? If they don't get a Star, what will be displayed on screen during studio programming? I don't see a way for the LDA to still exist since that's generated at TWC. If the LDA won't exist for cable viewers with an Intellistar2, surely it couldn't exist for viewers without a Star, right?

Just as the SD channel has nationally-broadcast LDLs and the HD feed has nationally-broadcast LDLs and sidebars, I'm sure there will be something similar to this for viewers without an Intellistar on the HD channel once the HD Intellistar starts to be used.
