New HD LDL

[Zach]

The LDA runs on Viz which can often mess up such as putting out blank data and the freezing kinda reminds me of the national squeezeback version that was used from late 2008 to mid 2009 (which i think also ran on Viz) having a hard time fading cities to cities (you can notice below)

EDIT: The squeezeback was not run on Viz. Confirmed over an IM.

I think I saw that blank LDL once before. I didn't realize it was on the HD feed...it looks just like the 33% SD LDL.

Anyway, I would much rather them use that than the stupid LDA that ALWAYS gets stuck. Does TWC even know it's doing that?

yep it looks way better than the SD 33% LDL

Looks like the unidentified HD LDL showed up during a SS promo today @ 3:17pm EDT

Seems the LDL cues during the 8's during longform

The L-Bar has Returned!

Interesting! Maybe this is why the large LDL had not been showing for awhile on SD.

I'm not quite clear, though, on the use of this new HD 33% LDL. I didn't think a large LDL would be used during long-form. What I would hope for though is complete discontinuation of the LDA.

This is just me but i doubt anything since 2008 has been discontinued from TWC.. It could still be in their systems even if it wasnt to be aired unless a miscue happened 

(OT but relevant to my above statement as a thought and observation) In a nutshell i think the blue LDLs with multiple tabs used outside the LF could make a rare appearance, or DirecTV gaining their LF LDL back (the one that only has a NOW tab and loops the 40-city CC's), and stuff such as the return of the old TWC HD bug earlier this year, some Viz graphics displaying the 2006-2010 icons, and better yet, when Weekend Outlook was still around, in its first few weeks intros from 2003-05 were used on air

I have to admit I love the new LDL. I love the sleek and shiny appearance that the colors have. But with all this talk of the LDL, I have to wonder, did HD viewers see any overlay (LDL) on programming before the LDA came out in April or May 2009?

No. From September 2008 until the LDAs launch, a TWC |HD| logo appeared and prior to that (since Ive been a viewer of TWC HD), the TWC logo appeared just like the SD one in the same place as the SD one and disappeared just like the SD one, however the weather.com text was absent on the HD feed below the logo
