Very interesting stuff! In that case, there's a really good chance in seeing legacy Stars, Derek! :D

I am missing a ton of those airport codes. I'll have to add them when I get back to CA..

Wow, that's pretty freaky how there's an XL *just* south of me! :blink:
Can you ask your dad to take u to Trinidad, CO?

Oh man, I sure hope so! I'll just have to tell my dad to avoid the hotels with dish network/directv dishes on their roofs! :happy:

Most of the hotels I stayed in have cable. But the thing is, they don't have a STAR hooked up, so they might just show a raw satellite feed instead :(

That's what I saw in Aurora, CO. I didn't realize all the satellite dishes on the roof though.

Last time I checked, they can't do that. Hmm, let me check on that actually because to get the raw feed, you need a IRD, and a STAR... the IRD gets its auth from the STAR ID and decodes the stream... Again, let me check.

The greatest car chase ending I've ever seen (the suspect was NOT hurt).

Ok, so there was a slight change of plans. Instead of going to Utah, we decided to make our first stop in Glenwood Springs, CO. Unfortunately though, the hotel has satellite. :( I couldn't tell whether the dishes were on the roof, because it was so dark..

HOWEVER, on the way here, we stopped at a rest stop, and because there was some severe weather, they had TWC playing in the visitor's center. And on the screen was a BLACK LDL with the OLD ICONS!!!!! :thrilled: But we couldn't stay long enough for the LF, and my camera was packed away in the moving truck. I think the CC city on the LDL was 'Leadville' or something like that. So maybe I didn't get to actually see a LF, but that was the closest to a legacy STAR that I've ever been to.. :thrilled: :thrilled: :thrilled: :wow:

Wow, that's neat! Were you able to tell if it was the IntelliStar or XL font on the LDL? It could of been an IntelliStar that didn't receive the icons upgrade (there were a few that didn't receive it until  several months after most of the others did).

ok sooooo apparently my trainee, Jordan quit yesterday - and my managers thought otherwise - so he was still scheduled to go in at 5, well he never showed up, so my GM called him and he said he'd be there...he never shows.

so i today, being my day OFF...get a call from my GM, Teresa - asking if i can go into work because Jordan had quit, Kim (other cashier) was off and couldn't come in, so i was like - sure. ok. fine.

so i get there, it's a mess. i was ticked...i went to the back to check out my schedule and because Jordan quit, I now have 3 day double shifts starting tomorrow through Sunday.

somebody shoot me?  :fire:  :doh2:  :P

i'm almost certain it was an XL...many cities/towns toward the west don't have intellistars, but rather 4000s and XLs.

I'm really jealous now! Being in such an urbanized area I've seen nothing but the IntelliStar since 2004. :(

Yeah, I'd say there is a 99.9% you saw an XL there, Derek. Congrats on finally seeing a legacy STAR.  :clap:

ok, so apparently sometime during this past week...nickelodeon changed channels from 99 to 23...

well on the 99 channel...at around 130, when i was flippin through channels a screen popped up on channel 99 and on top of the message:

"Please Note, nickelodeon has been moved to channel 23" and it was an virus scan thingy...and then at the bottom of the screen, a windows taskbar appeared with start, etc on it...and i noticed that the message was being generated by powerpoint, there was another program too, but i forgot the name.

i thought it was really strange, i didn't know cable companies would do that.

i'll have pixs up tomorrow.
