I loved the first version back in 2004, but I hate versions 2 and 3.

I perfered the WeatherSTARs 3000, 4000, Junior, and XL anyways.

There have only been two versions.  :biggrin:
I thoght there were three.
Classic TWC, Weatherscan, legacy WeatherSTARs, and classic Prevue/TV Guide fan.

Nope. 2.x is the current verison. The 2005 update was a "subversion" of version 1.

I think TWC will replace defective legacy STARs, but I don't think they'll ship brand new ones. :unsure:
I was told it was a "new" unit but it may just be a refurbished one.

It's possible they may have some new units still hanging around somewhere, but its pretty unlikely.

If they ever do new graphics on the intelliSTAR. They should make them be redone so they can match their current on air graphics.
Wish I had a WeatherSTAR 4000. Brings back memories.

I actually misread the poll. I meant to vote "No, love it."

The only way i will love the intellistar is if the narration on the 36hr or 48hr forecast would only say  for ex. "today", "For Tonight", "and on Monday". etc. instead of describing the forecast just say the day.

The only problem I have with the IntelliStar is their current design that came into play October 23, 2007... Hopefully, based off the schedules they used in the past, they change the design later this year...

That's what I don't like about it either, I would rather have the previous design than this one.

The only thing I hate on the IntelliStar is that the narration is louder than the music (which is has been like that since last October).

Geesh! Always hating on the IS. I love the IS. The narrations dont bother me at all. If im not near the tv i can hear the forecast. Traffic is great for my area as well.
