I was going to suggest what most have been saying. Moving radar (if it is possible) and text with the 8s. And hd as soon as possible.

I'm liking it!
On my SD TV, this new feature is working great! The local on the 8's. I'm very happy with it!!!!!! Better than I expected.
HOWEVER...can someone tell me how I can get it on my HD set? I go to 326 but don't see a sub channel or a new TWC in my guide.
Any help will be appreciated.

It's not in HD yet. You have to choose the SD version of channel 362 from the guide.
If you turned on the feature to "Hide SD duplicates" you'll need to turn that off first.

I said this about Dish's implementation and I'll say it about DirecTV's: When they say "just like on cable", I believe they're targeting that comment towards people who've never seen TWC on cable, only heard that it offers "local" weather info. D*'s version looks nice, but it's not "just like on cable".
Hall - I just read the last page of the thread you linked, and all it discussed were people that had it "not working" or "nothing like cable".
That's probably why I don't remember them ever finishing it.
The D* product, however, is much more like cable. Only significant difference that hit me right away is that cable has a computer talking to you: "Your weather is Sunny. Your temperature is 70 degrees. etc."
For their first effort, this is a pretty good solution.

No problem, and you're welcome. I'll do anything to break up my work day, including tedious screenshots (and blurring out my email address in Photoshop on all of them).
Does anyone know if the new interactive stuff on TWC also includes local alerts (like watches and warnings that pop up when in affect)? I think that would be great, and even a feature they could maybe let you enable no matter what channel you are watching, so you'll always know about severe weather, even if you're watching Animal Planet
my local on the 8
s on my SD TV set wasn't working this am! I did the prompt to press red button for local weather info when the regular programming was taking place (not during the local on the 8's) whereas yesterday it auto showed my local info during local on the 8's and included more details

If you have so Constructive feedback for Directv and TWC about this, please post it over at this thread http://www.satelliteguys.us/directv-forum/149564-weather-channel-local-content-feedback-2.html
Directv and The Weather Channel will get all the info that you post there. Jason and I will be sure that both companies see and get whats posted there.
Thanks to all again!

The feature is supposed have the alert pop ups, but I have not seen a post where someone had an actual alert and the notice popped up. Still waiting.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!! It works great! Now the geek in me wants to hear some of the early/mid 90s local on the 8's music!
