FYI... after some checking around, each STAR had the extra two LDL cities added individually. They were not done in a mass-DMA deployment.

They might not of gotten to it yet, Al. And, before any changes are made, they have to finish adding cities to all the STARs.

After seeing two orange crawls tonight (one for a Special Weather Statement and one for a Flood Advisory), it seems that orange crawls on the IntelliStar now last 20 minutes instead of 10 minutes as before. Not sure if this also effects yellow Severe Thunderstorm Watch crawls.

Dover, NJ? Never heard of that. How about Somerville, Newark, or Paterson instead?

Mike, just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean anything. Like I said, each city was picked individually for each STAR. The cities on the LDL are certainly in the viewing area of the particular STAR in question.

Does anyone have a clip of Daywin by Bobby Love from the January 2008 playlist?

That sounds like it, it's a good song but I can't find it anywhere.

Here are some screenshots of the title bar glitch I noticed on my Local Forecast this morning. I would think this was an issue exclusive to my unit, but because it lasted almost exactly 30 seconds, I am beginning to wonder if this was a nat'l issue.

TWC in...
Lansing: Comcast, Channel 36, STAR ID 22840
E. Lansing: Comcast, Channel 40, STAR ID 22842
Lansing Area: Broadstripe, Channel 40, STAR ID 25349
Current STAR count: 32. Be sure to see my channel for links to all the uploads!

usually issues like that are with the unit itself, as a matter a fact it's a known issue...just differently.

some stars have experienced blank (black) graphics with the title bar showing, this happens to be reversed.
i'm also never up in the morning so it could have been a national issue too. haha  :bleh:

Well, I came back to my dad's house in Haslett for a few minutes. I see the Falsepoint error is still ongoing. Now, here is what the info looks like:

Data displayed on the LF
East Lansing  Jul Precip: 1.8"

Data displayed under the Almanac tab on the LDL during nat'l broadcasts
East Lansing  Jul Precip: 2.19"

So, both numbers keep updating, but continue to remain inconsistent. This must mean that two different sites are being used. This error has been ongoing for at least a week, AFAIK. I see the Forecast tabs were updated. East Lansing no longer shows up twice. "Dwntwn Lansing" was changed to "Lansing", and Okemos replaced Haslett, which does not make me happy. As soon as I transfer files that I am recording to my desktop, I will post screenshots here and notify the STAR team.

That sounds like an issue you may want to bring up with the STAR Team. I think it's the STAR recieving wrong data, not TruPOINT.
