IntelliStar 2 Discussion / Intellistar Background suggestion...

« on: January 21, 2014, 08:29:23 AM »

I would like to throw this idea out there for everyone...


How hard would it be for the background images used on the HD Star to be linked to the location you are watching from? For example if you live in San Francisco image of the Golden Gate Bridge or in New York a picture of the Statue of Liberty?

Apparently Charter has recovered from its financial issues of a couple years ago...

They have started its all-digital format in several markets including Southern Cal, Texas and now here in the Western North Carolina.

Last week with the transition, they took my headend that was really struggling (non HD, non On Demand, extremely limited bandwidth, etc...) and have done a massive upgrade.

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Change of forecast and obs on ID: 24332

The local cable outlet here in our local area recently done a major upgrade to the system which included an upgrade to the Intellistar.

Unfortunately due to the head end being 50 miles away, our local area does not receive the most accurate local info. I was wondering if something could be done.

Here's the breakdown on the cable system...

Provider: Morris Broadband
City of Service: Nebo NC (Eastern McDowell County NC)
Headend location: Hendersonville NC
Channel Number: 17
ID: 24332



My suggestion would be for the primary obs and forecast to be changed to Marion NC (28752), which for the main reason is that Marion is our county seat. Also there's a noticeable elevation difference between the two small cities. Therefor there can be a significant weather differences between the two towns. If Marion cannot be used as a primary obs site then Morganton or Rutherfordton NC would serve as good alternates.

The weather maps such as radars and city forecasts also need to be altered if possible to be more centered on our specific location.

As far as severe weather warnings, we have not had any bad weather since our system was upgraded so I don't know if McDowell County NC is covered on the headend.


As always thanks for your time in looking into this issue...
