Today, the monthly precip indicator switched from NWS sites to Truepoint sites. All Istars should now show the precip data from your HiRAD ob point.
So more illegitament information now?
What are they going to guess on next?

That precip indicator from Truepoint must have been glitching up or it's not that accurate, it said I picked up 1.36 in. then it said 1.34 in. how do you lose precip that you already gained? :blink:

I don't know if this is just my Intellistar or anybody else's, but my Intellistar has been ending two seconds or so past the music, and the audio is constantly in and out for the last 20-30 seconds. Also, I saw two seconds of the satellite LF before my Intellistar cued in on the most recent LF. However, this only occurred at 9:38 AM EDT.

Of course, as soon as I say something about it, any problems seen are fixed.  <_<

I saw this problem a lot yesterday, I even saw the Sat LF run the whole 2 mins. whenever it came up.

I noticed that on mine too, I saw the Satellite LF at first, I didn't notice if the music ended early.

Also, my Intellistar is guessing 1.73" for the month of April. Yesterday, it guessed 1.68". Lansing has seen some nice sunny weather over the past couple of days, and not a drop has fallen (and definitely not 0.05"). The airport, which is less than 5 miles away from me, has an official reading of 1.61", and has not changed since the 6th.

This is just plain stupid, as all local information has become far too local and is now just completely computer guesses. Nothing beats the real thing (actual, not computer guessed, observations). Plus, some Intellistars serve pretty big areas. Mine does not serve as big an area as some other Intellistar units, but it does serve a pretty large one. All kinds of factors play in to precip amounts, including local demographics, and where thunderstorms track. I know here in Lansing, I-496, which goes straight through Lansing, is basically the dividing line for everything. People south of I-496 can get thunderstorms and pouring rain while those of us north of R.E. Olds Freeway get nothing. While this is the problem that the Intellistar is trying to solve, it does a poor job at it, that is for sure.

After watching one of Zach's Satellite IntelliStar videos, it seems that the "Local On The 8s" logo in the upper right-hand corner is now transparent (the blue background of the logo is gone).

I wonder how the XL takes up the whole screen like that...I didn't think XLs broadcast in HD. :unsure:
