Hate to say it... But somewhere buried in these forums, I told ya so... well, I might have said mid-may, but still.

Is it where it pops up during local on the 8s yet? Also glad they are keeping weather nation and their app as well.

What's neat for me is that I only had to set up my city on the app on one box & all my DVR's/receivers have my home city programmed on the app.

But for some reason, WN's interactive feature is gone.

Not really,I went to the Weather Nation channel(361) & hit the red button. First I had to put in my zip code & then I had to hit the red button again,then the app came back up with the Weather forecast for my zip code.

The weather nation red button feature only works on hd receivers only. Sd receivers have to use the active button.

Weather nation works even during the local forecast segments. When will the weather channel work during local on the 8s?

It used to pop up with a local forecast that was much better than the one on the national feed of WeatherNation. I assume that will come back to the Weather Channel at some point.

So the interactive feature isn't available on Ch. 361 anymore? That sucks.

 

[mikedz4]

Unless they just removed it the feature was still available in 361

On HD receivers, it is. On SD receivers, it's gone.

I wonder why Directv did this ? What was the reasoning for this ?

 

[andrewj0781]

SD receivers have to use the active button for weather. We were never told why they did away with it on SD receivers.
