Perfect Paul's return on October 29, 2011 during Snowtober:
NOAA Weather Radio - EAS #89 - Winter Storm Warning - 10/29/11 4:55 AM EDT


(oh, and my area was under that warning :P)

Thanks NBC Comcast for driving me away from TWC. You've officially made TWC junk, NBC Comcast.

I wish the user would lower the price. :/

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NORTHERN-TELECOM-NORTEL-WEATHER-STAR-4000-WEATHER-CHANNEL-FORECAST-BROADCASTER-/330766154126?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d0332f98e#ht_7183wt_1270
The STAR 4000 is just a mere paperweight unless you have an uplink via C/Ku band satellite to TWC's analog feed, since it downloads everything through satellite (including the graphics). So be aware of that before you buy the unit and attempt to operate it. :thumbsup:

EDIT: I will say, that 4000 is overpriced. A headend could probably buy a refurbished STAR XL or IntelliStar directly from TWC for less than that.

According to this Wikipedia article, we're getting the AccuWeather channel this summer on our local FOX affiliate, WHBQ-TV!

Here's some more information about the FOX partnership with AccuWeather.

It's coming to all FOX O&Os where an ABC O&O doesn't already exist.

Maybe he wants the extra money to pay some bills. :P As much as I would like to have a 4000, I wouldn't know the slightest first thing to do with it, it would just be a pile of dust sitting in my room.

EDIT: Is all FOX O&O stations in partnership with Accuweather also? I noticed last month or the month before our is. I noticed from that link it says it's coming this summer. So I'm basically going to have two Accuweather channels here? :dunno:

Another EDIT: Heh, I thought Atlanta was ranked #8 out of the top 10, not #9 :unsure:

What about in areas where an ABC O&O does exist but doesn't carry the channel, like here?

Because of the existing partnership between Accuweather and ABC, it's not getting implemented. Here's the official press entry from Accuweather.

Oh.. I guess that's why all their O&O's dropped the channel then. :hmm:

I would have said that one may have been able to get into the Harddrive and download the graphics from it - but the graphics are drawn by the units processors (not base images/animations unlike the XL/IS)
