The winter schedule is underway in the Philadelphia Weatherscans (PHL and areas N & W). We're getting Ski & Snow already, which seems to come earlier and earlier each year!  :blink:

Yeah, seems that the earlier stores start selling Christmas stuff, the earlier TWC decides to put Ski in the playlists. :P

Not to be pushy, but can we move this topic to the new "WeatherScan Discussion" topic?

So I just went downstairs, turned on the cable box, and flipped to 101, and I found Weatherscan here at home! I'm so excited. Videos to come sometime!  B) :happy:

edit: It seems to be the Chambersburg Weatherscan, which is about 50 miles to the west of here. :huh:

They could add a Hanover and/or Gettysburg Forecast segment to this unit to help serve your area better. It looks like this unit's serving area recently got expanded, but didn't update its config. Maybe you could ask the Star Team about this.

Also odd how this Weatherscan doesn't have a city title on the Station ID. Mine used to be the same way until April 2006.

BTW Billy, don't you have the Digital Basic package? I thought Weatherscan was only available on Digital Preferred or higher?

I have digital basic and get WxScan, so I guess that's not true.  :no:

That's odd. I wonder if it will make its way on dig. basic here then?

Actually, IIRC, we don't have any digital package. Just standard cable with a digital box to get some of the standard channels they've moved off the analog lineup to digital.

Then you probably have digital basic, like what I have here. When I picked up my box from Comcast last month (and I didn't subscribe to any specific tier) I got channels like WeatherPlus, AccuWeather, G4, Music Choice, and other channels I never had with analog cable. I looked up Comcast.com's guides and apparently I have the digital basic package, the lowest tier available w/a box, I believe.

digital basic is the lowest digital tier available on the box, it doesnt include weatherscan. the next tier above that is digital classic which includes most channels in the 100's, and that includes weatherscan. digital classic, without any other packages will include digital basic for all your local stations, music choice and such, but none of your standard channels below channel 100 (like food network)

I have it here on analog basic but not digital basic. I wish I had it on digital too so I could record higher quality clips.

It would be neat if we could just order one channel like Weatherscan to add to our channel lineup, that way we wouldn't have to spend a whole lot of money subscribing to a full tier that has a whole bunch of other channels we don't need.

That would be nice, but unfortunately the cable industry has always been very opposed to the a la carte idea.  <_<
