At Dave's house, he has Mount Holly for his Current Conditions screen, and the ID is 21872.
I get that same one here in Marlton. I think I live right near the border of 21872 and 21873's coverage areas. Cherry Hill, just a mile or two down NJ 70 from here, gets 21873. Berlin, also only 10-15 mins from here, gets 21896. I also think I live really close to the border of Camden's and Vineland's Weatherscan coverage areas.

South Jersey has at least 10-15 domestic IntelliStar units, but only three regional Weatherscan units that serve several headends and therefore huge areas (Camden, Vineland, Atlantic City).

Does anyone know what flavor the XL marine forecast would show up on, and what screen it would replace?

I am not sure what flavor it shows up on, but I do know that it replaces the almanac which exists on non-coastal Intellistars like mine.

IIRC, it was on the M flavor after the Tides, replacing the daypart.

Oh, it replaces the daypart? I thought it only replaced the almanac that shows up on non-coastal Intellistars.

Ah, that would make sense to come right after the tides. Do you know if the air quality screen did the same thing?

Not sure about that, never seen video of it or in person. I'd assume that would replace the daypart too since it's one of those rare and optional screens like the marine forecast is.

On the XL, the marine forecast replaced the normal almanac, not the daypart.

Oh wait, I was just thinking tides for some reason. Yes, the marine forecast did replace the daypart. However, when the marine forecast didn't play, the daypart was shown.

I have been noticing that with DirecTV on the 58's it has my "Local" forecast for my zipcode. I didin't give them my ZIP. How did they get it?

It's been a year since the three-day Extended Forecast has been discontinued on the IntelliStar.
