I just saw something on WxScan that I haven't seen in forever-an advertisement for Notify. It's been so long since I've seen an advertisement for Notify (of any type) that I didn't know it still even existed!  :blink:
Yeah that's been there since early this month. It always existed, but they haven't promoted it much since before the BWTL relaunch.

BTW, if you can could we see a clip of your Weatherscan?
Yes could you Gary? I've never seen the Baltimore Weatherscan before.

Videos of his domestic IntelliStar are on his Gary335 YT account, but no Weatherscan.

Can't you hook either your tuner or VCR up to your cable box and record it through the cable box?

Yeah that shouldn't be difficult. The VCR method is what I use to record my Camden/Cherry Hill Weatherscan

Yes I probably could. And if I ever get the time/inclination to do all that I will.  :twothumbs:

I have 2 of the same WeatherScan IntellStar feeds on Ch.245 & Ch. 845 is anyone else seeing this and is there anyway of this being a problem or being permanent for WeatherScan HD in the future?
I've had 2 feeds since 2004 or 05
ch. 19 & ch. 116
For a few months in 2004 and again for a few days in 2007, Weatherscan here was on both basic channels 119 and 120. They were from the same headend too.

I noticed my Weatherscan is using a backup location on the Surf report, a buoy near Islip, NY (instead of Cape May). I didn't know there was a backup feature for the surf reports! :o

This may be a silly question, but why don't the Philadelphia Weatherscans have local ad crawls? All I see now are the ones added by TWC. It used to show LOCAL crawls just like the domestic IntelliStars. So if they have them, why none on Weatherscan?

The cable may just renumbering channels.

TWC now airs basic TWC promotions on most units (even those with Ad Crawls). Your cable co must not be airing any at this point in time. My Comcast headend would air ads for months at a time, then stop, and begin again. No big deal, really.

Well, last Saturday marked five years since Weatherscan IntelliStar debuted in my area (9/27/03), and three years since a major update had been made (9/27/05). Right now it's in dire need of changes, but now that it is in the hands of NBC I don't see that happening.

Its not in the hands of NBC.  :no:
