IntelliStar can trigger commercials too? When does this occur?

I can't remember where I read this, but I heard that based on the weather conditions, it can play certain commercials. I seem to remember a soup example.

I don't know about commercials, but I know it's capable of showing weather forecast screens after a commercial (i.e. UV index after a transitions glasses commercial, outdoor activity, etc). I just remembered I have some clips of these screens on a tape I have from 2004. I can upload them if anyone's interested.

It's been there the whole time. And we see it everyday - we just don't realize it. And Gil is right. For example, if cold weather is in the area, a soup commercial might air instead of a a different, random commercial. Pretty neat, IMO.

Ah, I see what he's talking about. Didn't know that was powered by the STAR. That's neat.

Hence, why it's "intelligent".

- New 96 Hour precipitation forecast screen has been added, thus removing the "Coming up" screen at the end of the locals.
For those who haven't seen this yet, here's a video:

Oh man, what am I going to do without all of those songs? He had a lot of songs I liked uploaded that other people didn't.

Vic, what videos were deleted that caused your account to be deleted? IIRC, videos that are disabled due to copyrighted audio don't cause this to happen.
