Wrong STAR displaying
« on: October 01, 2010, 03:24:17 PM »
STAR #23622 (Slidell, La); Charter Communications

While at work Thursday, I took a break and watched a bit of TWC's coverage of the East Coast storm.

However, I couldn't help notice that the LDL was displaying conditions and forecasts for Pearlington, Picayune and Poplarville...all in Mississippi instead of Slidell, Mandeville and Bogalusa. A look at the LO8s confirmed that I was watching the STAR out of Picayune (#30009) instead of the one from Slidell (I live in Franklinton, La. and work in Bogalusa, La.).

What happened here and can we get the Slidell STAR back?

I'm guessing your Slidell IS broke down and they're currently running the Picayune unit as an alternate until the other one can be fixed.

I've never seen an IntelliStar with an ID in 30000's. (The highest I've seen was 29950 in Petersburg, MI) BTW, do you have any clips of it?

It's been nearly four weeks and I have yet to hear an answer from the STAR team. Are Charter subscribers in Washington Parish stuck with Picayune's STAR (#30009)  or will they get Slidell's STAR (#26322) back?

I'd love to see some clips of the STAR from Washington or St. Tammany Parish. I've never seen them before, and I live pretty close by.

Since Picayune, Mississippi, and Slidell, Louisiana, are so close, it might not be at the top of the STAR Team's priority list to address that issue. And if the STAR is getting repaired, then I guess you'll just have to wait a bit longer before you see that STAR again. I don't see how the STAR Team can help if the STAR isn't accessible.

The STAR has been changed again. We're now getting the STAR out of Hammond (23626). I rather get the Hammond STAR than Picayune's.
