Yeah, I don't get why Weatherplus isn't on satellite. :huh: Doesn't make sense if satellite companies can carry local channels, but not a local weatherplus.

Same reason they can't carry TWC's local forecast. There's no technology to do so yet.

You totally missed the point to Victors, and Garys post. That's not what they are refering to. Its a work around to real technology limitations.

I thought WeatherPlus was generated by the affiliate, not the provider. :unsure:
