I don't know when this occurred, but I noticed yesterday that all the display names on the segments of my IntelliStar was simplified to "Atlanta" including the Almanac which makes absolutely no sense when the display name was previously Hartsfield-Jackson Int'l Airport where the almanac data is observed and records are kept.

Interesting how Joseph has reported this same thing on his Intellistar in the Bronx. The forecast title and even his CC site was changed to "New York", as seen in this video:

Could this mean something?

My Star is acting weird,

Notice the attachment, ever since last Thursday morning @ 4:38am my star froze on the Traffic Overview map and cut to satellite then ever since then it showed up as a huge error with color coded errors.

This has to be either local or nationwide?

Moved from the Porch:
Hey, for anyone that has the IntellISTAR, is the local forecast weather animations showign up in the 36 Hour Forecast? For some reason the STAR where I am isn't showing it. I hope TWC didn't plan on taking them out...
Here too.  Did they get removed when the LDLs changed?

That's a possible sign that your STAR was recently rebooted. Give it a couple hours and they should reappear.

I thought all updates were sent to all Intellistars at the same time?

The new LDL update was sent out at 3:45 ET and was working fine at 4:00am ET for the start of First Outlook.

While it's not significant, I just thought of another LF-related question... would an all time record high/low temperature actually show up on the record high/low screen, or would it just display a daily record high/low? I know how random all-record temps are.

Pretty sure it's just daily records.
