...and at the same time, they launched this new logo for the satellite STARs:

I like this one better than the other one.

Yes I am. I have been scanning the LF for changes, and the text on the front page CC as well as the 8 city 'guesses' page (both city and temp) and the text on the text based forecast seem larger to me.

Well, I have made a strange discovery today. The ad crawl is STILL missing on my Intellistar, but at school today (I go to school at Haslett, which gets the East Lansing headend), I noticed the ad crawl displayed there, so I assumed it came back. However, it is still missing in Lansing. I wonder if any other Intellistar units are doing this, or if it is just mine acting up again?  :dunno:

I also saw two new LF intros today.  :clap: One of them was a modified version of an intro from last year I was looking for!  :thrilled:  :dance:
I will edit my montage and re-upload it as soon as I see another new one, since my rule is to update it once I get 3 new intros to add to it :)

1) The text was never enlarged.

2) Missing ad crawls aren't a problem. It may of been your headend's decision to pull them (for whatever reason).

Okay. It was just one of those feelings where something seems off and I am not sure what is not normal or out of place.

Well, it is still a mystery to me as to why the ad crawl was pulled then. Perhaps I should call and ask them why, but then again, I most likely won't reach my actal cable office and it is not a problem to me anyway. :itsok:

Speaking of ad crawls, I've seen IntelliStars in the area (pretty much all along interior South Jersey) showing ads about a cigar shop in the area, and has for years. Isn't it illegal to advertise tobacco products?

Well, it must not be if it has been allowed to be on the ad crawl for all those years. Unfortuately, there is nothing you can do about the ad crawls  :no:

Well, 'False'point (as I like to call it) is now guessing I have received 2.58" of precipitation this month, when it said 2.63" just a few minutes ago.

How often does 'False'point update? Once a day around midnight like the legitament observations are done, or is it instaneous?

Correction, now up to 2.62".

Well, not to be annoying or redundant, but about how often is that?  :dunno:

lol, Falsepoint. Odd how the precip total dropped, though.
