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!
I would have to agree on that! And that was when The Weather Channel was actually worth watching.

That is an unrelated "feature" that's in fact a requirement by the FCC. This is supposed to be implemented with or without the weather channel feature.
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!

I don't think that the ticker works. because there is an Hurricane Watch, Flood Watch and a Tropical Storm Warning in my are and there is nothing showing up on my screen about it. Nothing on the active channel either.
Tip
Just a tip I found out. When you hit the red button to go to Weather on Demand and you want to exit. Move cursor to the exit button. Doing this will allow you to keep interactive features and have no need to change channels to reset. Hitting the exit button on your remote will cause you to have to reset the channel. You all may have known that already, but I will throw it out there anyway.

I find that if I want interactive weather I've got to enter it thru the Weather Channel's red button.Because if you use the Active channel button,you get to listen to"That channel isn't even in HD"! over and over again that is monotonous.Of couse they are right the Weather Channel interactive is not in HD.

Unfortunately, this feature is not yet available on TWC HD. Many of us have disabled the display of the SD duplicates so this feature is problematical. Hopefully, they will get this on the HD version of TWC soon.
Okay, I re-enabled the display of SD duplicates but only have TWC SD in my Favorites guide.

UPDATE: 9/29/09 - Local on the 8's is now available on the HD channel as well. (Only took them a year to make it happen)
Couple screen shots from the local on 8's, and the final one is after the local loop finishes (returns to the sat feed, what we had before the locals on 8's started for the HD channel)

Cool! Now if they could only get a better local radar it will be even better.
Exactly, that third picture is for western michigan, of which all the storm systems come from the west. I need a radar image that shows the other side of the lake, Chicago, Milwaukee, etc. - Not New York, with a better zoom.
Check out the NOAA Radar TVapp, much better then TWC radar and you can configure it for what you want.
