Does anyone have video of the 3000 before when it was decomissioned?
« on: August 09, 2008, 12:09:29 AM »
I was woundering, a year ago over at TWC Classics, I heard that someone was able to find and video tape a WeatherSTAR 3000 shortly before Janurary 1, 2005 -- the day when it was decomissioned by the FCC. The same person that found the 3000 in his area's cable company eventully got it replaced with the XL. The footage still hasn't been posted on this website. Does anyone have video footage of the WeatherSTAR 3000's final days from December 2004?

You haven't checked this site too well have you? First you asked about our recent LOT48's videos, which are on the site, now your asking about 3000 videos, which also are on the site. Look around a little, eh?

Why do you hate the 3000. I hate the IntelliSTAR.

Simple - It was a piece of shit. Hence, why they discontinued it.

Personally I liked the 3000 also. I don't like the intellistar either. I want the new 1080i unnamed system to debut.  :biggrin:
