Al, having Phoenix Area and Phoenix on the same LDL is a waste of time and graphics.

Did anyone's cities on the LDL duplicate a city already on the local observation screen...does that defeat the purpose, or was that the main idea?

That is perfectly fine. For example, on my FiOS STAR, both Bethel Park and Penn Hills are on the local obs screen, and on the LDL. There's no problem unless there is a duplicate city on the LDL, for example a Downtown location, and then a generic city location without the "downtown" moniker.

Lower Bucks IntelliStar has Center City and Bordentown, NJ as it's cities. Center City is okay, but not Bordentown as its far off the forecast area and not a commen travel destination. I'd have Bensalem on there instead.

Has anyone been getting any dual-feed updates lately? I haven't been getting any since late 2007 and was wondering if the recent layoffs have prevented them from doing dual feed updates.

One of the last ones I remember seeing was on July 30, 2008.

Since when did "windy" become a condition on it's own during the current condition screen?

"Currently in our area...97 Degrees with windy conditions"

isn't it usually associated with the sky condition as well?

"Currently in our area...97 Degrees under cloudy skies with windy conditions"

That's a rare one. I have one video from a long time ago with just windy as a condition somewhere...

The Camden IntelliStar has Camden, NJ, Moorestown, NJ, and Bordentown, NJ as the 3 cities.

Odd........
The 1:28 AM EDT LF (with my favorite overnite song, SOYCD) began with a satellite LF for a second. What is strange is that the LDL cued before the STAR  :blink:

Lansing: Comcast, Channel 36, STAR ID 22840
E. Lansing: Comcast, Channel 40, STAR ID 22842

The STAR is capable of producing a local forecast on top of the national LDL. I've seen it before.

I obviously haven't though. I didn't know that was possible. Did all STARs do this at that time?

Teterboro's has the mentioned city, Morristown, and Dover. I think Fort Lee and Dumont are better locations IMO.
