Okay, I finally got screenshots of the Falsepoint error with the E.L. headend. I will be notifying the STAR team momentarily about it.

To me, it seems they have two different dicast points set, with one obviously labeled wrong.

My "False"Point went from 0.18" to 0.1". Literally.

They changed the cities on my LDL, it used to be Downtown Atlanta, College Park, and Dunwoody, but now it's Atlanta, Marietta, and Decatur. They took Downtown out on the LDL, but the IntelliStar is still labeled as "Downtown Atlanta". I don't get what was wrong with College Park and Dunwoody being on the LDL, but whatever I guess.

The Radar Satellite no longer has the time lapse bar. It had continued to have the bar even after the 2007 IS relaunch when they were removed from the local and regional radar.

The time lapse bar will not appear if there is not a full five hours of radar or satellite data present.

Well, as seen in this video:



The narration is continuing to have skipping issues during the text based segment. It usually occurs on and off, lasting for several hours, then on a hiatus for a couple days before returning once again. However, it has been happening for the past week. The narration skips, and this slows down the Local Forecast, thus prolonging it and making it last from a half a second to as much as 5 seconds past the music. The error is only during the text based and ends before the Week Ahead segment. Is this happening to anyone else? This seems to be exclusive to my unit. I have heard it on the E.L. unit, but it does not happen as often on that unit nor is it as significant.

It's must have been only on your IS, I heard Layla on my IS at that time.

That song is in the IntelliStar's "alternate" built-in playlist that is typically used for dual-feed coverage.

Yes, hence why I said "internal playlist". ;) There was no dual-feed update after the LF, however. But there was one at 4PM, I didn't get a clip of that.

Yes, I did record it. I'll have it up tomorrow.

Well, the saga of changes to the E.L. Intellistar continues. I was over there for a couple hours, and noticed a few things. Lansing replaced Okemos, and Haslett was added. So now, the cycle under the now and forecast tabs is East Lansing> Haslett> Lansing. If they would replace Lansing with Okemos, that would be nice. Falsepoint was updated, so both numbers provided on the LF and under the almanac tab are consistent. I barely caught a glimpse of the regional map, but I saw that Hamilton was replaced with London on the regional map. Finally, the almanac title was changed, so it appears as "Lansing Capital Reg. Int'l Arpt". However, nothing was changed on the Lansing unit.

Did you check to see if "Channel 40" was added to the station ID?
