That's the 4000 Emulator, not the real thing. ;)

The WeatherSTAR 4000 in Fort Polk, Louisiana is a WeatherSTAR XL now, and there is a WeatherSTAR4000 in Lake Charles, Louisiana. However, it may be an XL or Istar now; I'm not sure atm. Sorry I don't have 'proof' but the next time I visit I'll record some LFs.

Found the PB 4000 videos- these appear to be genuine.

....Springs, AR. That's the IATA/FAA code for Hot Springs Memorial Field. Generic Cessna farm IIRC.

Probably not the right place to post but does anyone *cough Tyler* know of any places in the P'burgh that use an XL or a JR, 4000 because I may be going there in the spring and I was wondering if any motels in the area might use an older STAR.

I'd imagine you're staying within the city, and in that case, no, they all have either Comcast (with an Istar) or satellite.

When I lived in Fort Leonard Wood, MO, there was also a WeatherSTAR 4000 with Cableamerica. I do not know if it is still in use today though. When I lived there, the current conditions at the bottom of the screen would become stuck in green about once a month.

Hmm. I didn't know that. I was there in April 2007, but I stayed in Rolla, MO, which had (or maybe still does, I don't know) Weatherstar XL.

A small cable company in Fort Polk, LA had a WeatherSTAR 3000 when I lived there. It was not Cebridge (Suddenlink). However, I do not know of the name of the company.

Sorry if this is considered a bump or not, but I believe Hickory, NC still has one. My dad was there last summer, and he said they had "a blue and orange local forecast with very few graphics," so that's obviously the WS4000.

Hey guys, I was the one that found the LaGrange 4000. I last saw it 1 or 2 summers ago with my dad when we were out there doing work. At the time, they had a local cable company that got replaced by Windstream. Hopefully sometime I'll be able to go back out there and see if they still have it.

I am going on a hunt for a 4000 unit next month, and I was considering LaGrange, OH, but there are not many hotels there.
