+1 for clock.  Why have they been forgetting about this in recent history??  A clock has been in TWC programming since I can remember in some shape or form.  I still wish they would have stayed with the LDL that is currently used for the LOT8s...with a couple modifications to show currents for cities and such.

The clock has been a thing since the launch. It was used on the first Star, but, that's just old TWC. They are simply cutting corners nowadays for ad space or other stuff. But I dont see why they wont insert a simple clock :pinch:

Hey Al, I just looked on my TV and saw it indeed shifted. In fact, it's worse on my TV than yours. :pinch:

Looks like TWC finally removed the LDA on PME Weekend

I'm seeing the Small LDL right now.

Odd, the screen was scrunched from 16:9 to 4:3 on PME just now. Looks like they still haven't completely ironed out the LDA.
TWC in...
Lansing: Comcast, Channel 36, STAR ID 22840
E. Lansing: Comcast, Channel 40, STAR ID 22842
Lansing Area: Broadstripe, Channel 40, STAR ID 25349
Current STAR count: 32. Be sure to see my channel for links to all the uploads!

Seems to be full 16:9 now!

Has the LDA met its demise? A blank black LDA keeps automatically triggering at the start of every segment, but they immediately remove it in lieu of using the new HD LDL with full 16:9 picture.

Nope, false alarm. The LDA returned for the second hour of FO. It must have been broken all last hour.

So is the LDA only used now when the big LDL is on SD? :dunno: I wish they would trash it all together. :yes:

Actually, it won't. I have learned that the LDA will continue to show (during programming that uses the 33% LDL) even with the HD STAR's 33% LDL (so you will see the left strip of data, not the bottom 5 day forecasts).

Makes sense so you can see national forecast data in addition to local data. :yes:
