Ooo I think I can participate! :thrilled:

Does this mean I need to record in SD or will this surprise be on HD too? :bleh:

The first Local Across the 48s will take place on Thursday, March 11 at 8:58 ET.

I would like to ask that everyone record video after the local forecast until the first commercial break. 

Trust me... this is a good date :whistling:
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? :P

Depends on the time zone where you live. If it's 8:58 eastern, then it's 5:58 west (my time).

I'm wondering if I'll even see this update you guys keep talking about. It sure looks as though my STAR will be dead through that day. As of the :38 LF, it's still dead. No commercial plugins, no station ID, and no LDL. You'd think there was no STAR connected!

I am sure you all guessed it but we can now say it officially "new LDLs will be launched March 11th" So that is why a LAT48s is so critical for this day :)

I apologize for this noob-ish question, but what exactly is a Local Across the 48s? I mean, I know it's kind of like you record a local forecast from where you live, but is there any other reason behind it? Nonetheless, if I can visit my grandmother that day, her cable company has an IntelliSTAR so I may be able to participate this time around.

LAT48s is when we all (who can) record their LFs all at the same time just for fun. :)

I'm still not sure if i can participate. If I can't record it, please understand that it's for obvious issues (family watching too much tv) and that it was for unavoidable reasons.M y slingbox doesn't work for my upstairs receiver so I can't use that either.

Would love for you to be able to participate. Basically you said it. We all record a local forecast at the same time across the country. Neat to compare everyones weather, configurations ,etc. this time we are recording the first TWC segment after to catch the new LDL! Thanks for expressing your interest! :)

Perhaps it was my mistake to have it right on a launch date. The indications of these dates were solid but as you can clearly see TWC likes to have fun with us. I am sorry changing the date irritates some of you. I didn't think it would be that big of a deal but I do understand if participation is lack luster considering the shaky schedule going on here. I see no point at all really of a LAT48 with a batch of TWC updates just around the corner. As always your comments and opinions are welcome.

I would like to take a brief moment to welcome back all of the members who don't check in too regularly. We have seen a large surplus of member checking in today about the new changes. We all welcome you to participate in our Local Across the 48s where we record an LF and this time record the weather segment after it until the first commercial break.  It will take place tonight at 8:58PM ET if you are interested. We would love to see your video if you can make it :)
