Trigger Icon On Weather Channel

[ughone]

Hello to all.. I'm a newbie DN person. Just had it installed two weeks ago. I read somewhere on the Dish Network Website that you can get a local doppler radar by just pressing select when the Weather Channel show's the 8's and you see a trigger icon. Ok I know this might be a stupid question, but where is the trigger icon?
I found a smaller doppler radar when you go through the Dish Network Enhanced, through TWC or Local Radar and you can set up local or favorite cities for the weather. But that picture is too little for my old eyes. I must have sat through many "Weather on the 8" just clicking ... nothing like I was reading about pressing select for "THE TRIGGER Icon." Is there some preference I need to set somewhere?
I live in cherokee village arkansas if that helps..

Thanks..

I believe you're talking about the text that pops up sometimes on the bottom and says "press select for more information"

I don't watch the weather channel but have seen this during commercials for dish offers like PPV or showtime.

I called Dish Network this morning because I another technical issue. After I got through and explained about it... the lady with the middle eastern accent couldn't figure out what I was talking about. I told her I found it on the Dish Network website.
Anyhoo hung up the phone called back in ten minutes and got an American that answered all my questions. He said it hadn't been launched and it " was coming soon."
So for future reference...I know there is going to be someone else out there sitting in front of their TWC (like me) trying to figure out why this "new fangled select button isn't working."
Here is my reference in case anyone wants to know...

Too early!

Plus, most people just went to bed after watching the high 400's. The triggers don't work there either.
