Mike, as I look at the satellite image, I think I found the location of your Intellistar unit:

1250 Berlin Rd, Cherry Hill, NJ
(856) 354-1660

Hope this helps  :wave:
I looked up Comcast offices near Fort Dix and the headend that houses Mount Holly's star would have to be in either Browns Mills or Pemberton, as those are the closest buildings nearby. The building that houses the Burlington IntelliStar I received is in Willingboro.

You know the multiple cities on the ldl is logical! I really like it now that I have it. My STAR covers multiple cities. Nice to have it mention through those cities now

Yeah, I've been wanting to ask the STAR team about adding multiple cities to my LDL for awhile, but they have so many requests pending right now I didn't want to bother.

Hmm, odd, I see the 3:28 PM EDT LF went right to the Local Radar screen, skipping the Regional Radar segment after the front page CC. Since when does that happen?

I noticed this too. The cities are Downtown Phoenix/Phoenix Area, Phoenix, and Mesa. This implementation really is bad (I'd say it should be Phoenix, Glendale, and Mesa) because of the duplication between the first two.

Which cities, Al?

Are you going to get some Weatherscan clips too while you're there?

Zach, Al, and Raymie, I would create a thread in Tech Support about your cities. Al, it doesn't seem logical that all 3 cities should be on the north side of the viewing area, and the other two have duplicate cities.

As mentioned earlier,
I'm looking at the E.L. Intellistar tonight, and I am noticing something odd. Haslett and Downtown Lansing were added to the now tab on the LDL. However, in the forecast tabs, it rotates from East Lansing to Lansing then shows East Lansing a second time before the next tab moves over.

I am looking at the E.L. Intellistar again tonight, and I am noticing a rather strange error. Last night, Falsepoint was guessing 0.5" for the month of July thus far on the Local Forecasts. However, it was guessing 0.45" under the almanac tab during nat'l broadcasts. At first, I thought it could have just been an adjustment, but it was consistent. I came back tonight to record the error, and I notice it updated, but the problem is still ongoing. Falsepoint is now guessing 0.52" for the month during the Local Forecasts, and 0.46" under the almanac tab during nat'l broadcasts. Perhaps it could be two different sites?

Could be... I'd shoot a notification to the Star Team about it, though it may take awhile with all of those other requests on their hands.

Hmmm, this IntelliSTAR's logo is off from the actual TWC logo. :hmm: :thinking:

Did anyone's cities on the LDL duplicate a city already on the local observation screen...does that defeat the purpose, or was that the main idea?

Also Tyler, as suggested I did make a topic.
