True! Remember the XL in Ozark of mine that never displayed an ID? Turns out it is working again, it's ID is 003171 but still displaying as Ch25.

Have you had a STAR not work properly or stop working then came back to life? Tell its story here =)

There have been numerous reports about no ID being shown. Very common issue. Very common to see it get fixed. I don't know what you mean by "came back to life".... :unsure:

Based on the topic name, I expected to read about a STAR that wasn't working at all, but is now fixed. But an ID number!? Is the really something worth getting excited about? :huh:

If you look at the video of the 4000 in State College, PA on the east side of town, in 2007 it had graphical problems (it's on my page from a long time ago; I did a CAM of it.) As of April 2010, this STAR is no longer having any graphical issues and is in mint condition.

The video board must have been replaced
