That looks like a pretty complete list. You even included the 4000 here in Bel Air!

Have you posted videos of this 4000? f so, I would like to see it 
Also, as mentioned above, I hope to be going to Yale, MI during Spring Break in April. I hope that the 4000 still exists there. If not, it will be an XL, because Intellistar is not necessay there

-St. Louis, Missouri (backup)

4000 in St Louis? I find that hard to believe. And what do you mean by 'backup'?

I don't have that STAR, and its not my video. I live near Baltimore, not in Bel Air. Search YouTube for it.

The Rochester PA 4000 is gone. Replaced by the Istar early last year.

Damn, another one bites the dust.

AFAIK NASA langley in Hampton, VA still has a unit although its not long for this world. Thing fails to cue all the time.

Back when we had cable, our provider was Comcast and they have always seem to be up to date with the WeatherSTARs. We already lost our 4000 back in 1999.
 
Heres some video I recorded from our IntelliSTAR (22878). The video above was taken last October while the video below was recored from April 2007.

I just hope Mediacom doesn't upgrade their 4000!

I copied the list over from wikipedia, and I was in a huge hurry when I did so. Either that is the observation site for a nearby 4000, or that was an error.

So why exactly are you showing us your IS in a thread about the 4000?

Damn, another one bites the dust. 

Yeah, it's sad
Although most WS 4000's that are being upgraded are being upgraded to the XL, the Intellistar is far cheaper and has more features. Most 4000's and XLs that remain exist in areas that there would be no point to have Intellistar. These include rural, sparsely populated, or mountainous areas. If the specific cable provider/headend decides that it is necessary to change to the Intellistar because the area is populated enough and coverage area warrants it, then they will do so. But if the area is sparsely populated and/or large, then the headend will likely either stay with 4000 or upgrade to XL if they have the money.

Yeah, I know how it works.

I'm sure you do   
I was just typing that to respond to the 4000 being downgraded to Intellistar 
It is sad to hear about a 4000 going to an Intellistar

Unfortunately, Bismarck, ND hasn't had a 4000 since the invention of Intellistar
