I"m seeing crappy Intellistar videos now.
I don't appreciate those kind of comments. <_<  Sure the Intellistar is annoying but I uploaded those clips as a change from the usual satellite and emulator clips. Describing my intellistar clips "crappy" is not what I wanted to hear.

Oh ok.

Regarding that comment, I was talking about the Intellistar as a whole, not your videos, which are great. Just keep up the great work. Guess that's what happens when you get sick of your STAR (and the management of the STAR) after 4 years. No harm done.

On topic, am I the ONLY one who HASN'T had a problem with Comcast? We got a better package for them that costed less and we got our precious NFL Network back. Too bad the package couldn't overthrow the Intellistar. Even when our internet went down once, it was because our router died, not pointing fingers at Comcast.

I don't like the Intellistar's frequent narration either but when you haven't seen and/or recorded an Intellistar clip in years than you get excited  :thrilled:

I remember seeing my first XL on a vacation to Binghamton, NY in July of 04. I didn't know if my STAR (which was an IS) at the time, was more advanced or behind.

I remember seeing my first IS outage in April of 04. I was like "OH NO THEY GOT RID OF THE LOCAL ON THE 8s". This was when I was brand new to TWC, and I even remember Cocoon playing on this forecast. Victor, remember the satellite graphic package in early 04? I can't find any clips of it, or even that one that FS swiped on Youtube.

I'm looking for that clip too. I don't know who originally uploaded that clip. But yeah Cocoon was one of the only songs I remembered distinctively airing on the local forecast back then.

Not to get anymore off topic, but did the satellite local forecasts in 2000-2001 have a 4 city forecast screen in the beginning like the current lfs?

Wasn't 2000-2001 the graphics system where they showed several radar/satellite loops then the 3 Day forecasts?

I remmeber back then, there was no satellite LDL, so 5 cities showed up on the 3 day forecast, rather than 4.

And 2003/2004-2005 was when they had 2, opposed to 4.

Comcast has a better picture quality than DirecTV. It's sharper on a regular HDTV like mine than Directv

I has Comcast since 2003. I had digital cable for a while, then dropped it knowing how increasingly expensive it would get. Now Comcast runs my cable TV, internet, and digital phone service. $99 is the introductory offer for all three, but I know that figure will multiply out of control.

I've had Comcast since 2000. It was good, but then it went downhill fast...

I miss Suburban Cable. :(

It's the same here too. A few months ago our cable went out and they told my mom they couldn't send anyone until the next day. That's just crazy!

What they are slowly going to learn is that they can't treat their customers like dog shit, and expect them to pay top dollar for it.

Yay for competition. :clap:

Yeah, that's the main reason I liked Comcast.
