LOL, then why didn't you vote that way?

Personally, I also hate it passionately. I never could get used to the stinking narration. That's the worst thing about the IS, IMO.

Yeah, I don't like the narration either. Being a lf music fan, I like to have narrationless clips of songs.

I don't like the Intellistar. Depressing graphics, annoying narration, and still feels outdated. I wanna hear my favorite song with minimal (XL) to no (Satellite/4000/Jr) narration.

I wish there was an option to give cable customers satellite local forecasts.

Is there any satellite LF emulator in the works?

Just listen to this:

"Light rain in the morning followed by partly cloudy skies in the afternoon. High 53. Winds NNW at 5 to 10 miles per hour, increasing to 20 to 30 miles per hour. Chance of rain 30%. Rainfall near a quarter of an inch."

"For tonight. Mostly clear skies followed by increasing clouds. Low 34. Winds NNW at 15 to 25 miles per hour, diminishing to 10 to 20 miles per hour."

"On Monday we'll see a chance of rain. Look for partly cloudy skies on Tuesday, and on Wednesday, expect a chance of thunderstorms."

"Traffic Congestion for our area."

Look at all that hell we need to listen to. What if the legendary Trammell Starks is playing my favorite Jamacian Jam or Good Times, and then I have to have it drowned out by that crap?

All narration would be beneficial to the blind though!

IMO, they should put the narration on SAP (secondary audio program), that way everyone would be happy. Though, I still like a little narration, such as what the XL or Weatherscan does.
