LOL that's kinda hilarious actually..

i'd burst out into laughter if that happened to my IS.  :P


btw - did anyone happen to notice that on the 7 day forecast the location name changes after the first flick? that was kinda odd i thought...but hey the star was already freaking out.

Then near the end, I see the LDL starts flickering red; I wonder if this will give them an idea for a new thing to turn red during Storm Alert! :P

For some reason, I didn't see that video, and just came across it now on YouTube.

Yes, that's EXACTLY what happened, and that's the SAME STAR that I have! I think that was recorded on the same date and time too!

The information setup is not the same as my STAR, but Chicago headend has a weird STAR setup. I think the whole north side of the metro area shares the same STAR, but with different locations and stuff.

I don't see how that's possible...

I think the feed was switching between two different STARs actually - a Chicago STAR unit and a suburban STAR unit. That's how it appears anyway.

Yeah, I had a similar issue happen to me once back in 2006. I was watching my Mount Holly IntelliStar, then suddenly the feed switched and I saw the Camden IntelliStar instead.

If I was an admin, I'd issue whoever uploaded that film a warning because of a foul use of the G-word. PLEASE, do not use it as an insult. There should be no tolerance for this language.

I noticed the phrase "my intellistar was g*y and it broke" around the 1:20. I didn't appreciate the use of that word then.

Since when was "gay" a bad word? Not one I would choose but still  :dunno:

"gay" is not a synonym for stupid is what he's referring to. I hate that people use it in that context also, mainly because I'm gay myself. It doesn't make me stupid.

There's an interesting theory. :thinking:

As for the "G-word", It's pretty much the same as how people say "retarded" these days.

I think some of you are taking this a little too much to heart, especially if we're going around saying g-word like its one of the dirty words. I thought part of being gay was being comfortable with that, and being able to say the word.  :thinking:
