There would be no way for this to be a new LF for everybody, because that would require all cable companies to purchase or lease a new Weather/IntelliSTAR unit, and potentially switch over to offering High-Definition broadcasting only. Small-town cable companies can't do that. You require a digital receiver box for HD, as well.

NBC needs to keep their communist  :censored: ing hands off of our channel.
You do realize the local version of this squeezeback is generated by the headend's IntelliStar, don't you? :rolleyes: Same with the IS2 on HD as well

I was referring to the post/idea of another user of a brand new LF, such as the Intellistar2

I have noticed on the squeezeback on the SD channel (with IS) the video feed is 1/3 cutoff because it doesn't squeeze back fully.  The video isn't setup correctly so it doesn't fully squeeze to the video box provided and ends up cutting a good portion of the video from the screen.  FAIL.

Mine is currently receiving the national feed for some reason (squeezeback). It looks just the same as the HD National IS.

a) You have an XL - only the IS/IS2 show locals
b) There isnt such a thing as the "HD National IS" :P

Remember that video I posted that had my XL and the National IS? That is what I am talking about. I'll capture a video of it soon.
Also, the first several days of the squeezeback, I got the local LOT8's squeezebar, not the national.
