Thanks for the support everyone! I'm glad I can help the community! Here's an interesting catch from late last night/early this morning:

My IS2 is still up and running fine...of course I didn't see earlier today so I can't confirm whether it was a widespread outage or just your box. I hope it comes back up, soon!

« on: December 30, 2010, 03:24:31 PM »Either way, I like the "old" flipbooks that are on the IS2 now instead of the cheezeballs on the IS and various maps used on TWC.
This is completely off topic (sorry), but I'm assuming the terms "flipbooks" and "icons" mean the same thing.I've just never heard the term "flipbook" before until Mark used it.
Yep! Sorry. lol I used to work on weather computers when I designed graphics for television and all the computers from Weather Central refer to the weather icons as flipbooks. Some of the flipbooks are 30 images played in one second, some are 60 images played in two seconds (by default). That's what gives the icon its motion i.e. rotating sun, falling rain, etc. Your explanation, Robert, was quite right! Just no apostrophe since they're not owning anything
lolI hope they keep the HD flipbooks the way they are until they design another set to replace the cheezeballs

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Re: #99910 IS2 Incorrect Label
« on: December 28, 2010, 07:37:19 PM »
Here's another update for you, STAR Team: the Grand Forks unit is now showing #28785 for its ID number. However, the east/west interstate through North Dakota, down through Minnesota and into Montana is still displaying I20. I noticed over the weekend that the IS2 in Bismarck, ND is also showing I90. Here is an image to reference...my apologies for the small image size. Thanks for looking into it!

STAR team, please add #28785 (Grand Forks, ND; Midcontinent Communications) to this list as well. Thanks!

I was wondering the same thing, actually. I have yet to see the alert bulletin page in the LOT8s, just on the LDL after the crawl has finished. I hope it gets fixed soon!

Here's some new video featuring the alert in the LDL (this is the first I have noticed this).

« on: December 19, 2010, 02:12:27 AM »that HD Star ID doesn't start with a 9The one that started with a 9 (tuez13's) was just a generic ID, according to the STAR team.
Correct. Ours just got its actual number this week: 028785!
As for the clock, it is already on the LDL...

Here are a few interesting videos for you that I was able to catch! I have seen a few reports of "no data" on LDL observations. Nothing too exciting, just orange or gray text (depending which information is missing) saying No Data Available. Enjoy!
