Thanks for posting this.  It's interesting to see how many products aren't being used anymore.

I was against 1-minute local forecasts when they started, and I'm still against them.  They provide the absolute bare minimum of information.  The new sidebar (for HD viewers) covers some of the slack, but look at what SD Intellistar viewers get... and look at what legacy Stars show... and don't show!
