[narunetto]

Well ill try to find out when mine arrives on wed.

I found out the file system it uses, XFS. I found a driver for it in Windows, but don't know anything about it. If you need any help just throw me a line and i'll be glad to.

From? How the heck do you get access from this stuff.

Yeah, I never understood how people here are able to have special connections with people and get special things like an XL, especially since their under 18.

I wanted to know that as well. How did he get that Junior from TWC as well? Does he have some special contact with TWC?

That's what I'm wondering. He's probably got a garage full of Star Systems.

Wait, Martin's under 18? 

[Localonthe8s]

It says 17 in his profile.

[lfmusiclover]

Wow, I thought he was older than that.

I also don't get why some people here are able to have connections with people at TWC about what is going to happen with TWC in the future, future WeatherStar updates, etc.

Yeah, Martin is 17 according to his profile.

[Localonthe8s]

Rings a bell....like how Tyler also got those screenshots of the DirecTV lf 2 days before it came out?

Sometimes that's a matter of sheer luck. It was for me. I just happened to cross path's with a guy who happens to be a former employee and still has many insider connections. I think it was very much a mater of luck for Matt and Tyler as well.

I'll take an XL burger, and some 4000 fries please!

I thought Martin was like 15.

[TWCToday]

Haha ok guys let me clarify some things, I am indeed 17

I do have some connections with TWC and the star team. Nothing major, just some names and emails. As for the star units I do indeed have a WeatherStar Jr. It is in working condition and quite nice. I purchased it from a guy who was shutting down his small cable head end. As for the XL, some of you may have seen a guy at the 4000 forums post that he has recovered a fully functional XL unit. I just bought this from him and its on its way to my now. So more sheer luck than anything.

Another thing I should note is that im the kind of person who jumps on things. The moment I see someone posting something about owning a star unit im busy contacting them about a sale. Its luck, common sense, connections and money. 

I hope nobody is irritated with me or anything. Just thought I picked up a slight feeling oh hostility. I always try to share my findings with the weather channel community.
