Looks like viewers are in agreement with the current state of the Local Forecast (even if its a small portion.)

The XL for my area has been looping the LF for about 10 min now. Kinda neat, even though there is no audio.

I didn't catch it the first time. I was having issues with the tuner :(, but I did catch it the second time that it did it. :thumbsup: I caught a 15 min clip. I am adding some music to it so it won't be so boring and I should have the clip uploaded in about 20 min

I had thought about using a combination of new and old RF songs, but I just decided to go with a combination of new age and smooth jazz songs and those were the 4 that I happened to pick.

Awesome clip, thanks for uploading this!

i wish the IntelliStar could do that even if it was in my area.

Are there any additional products that you're seeing that aren't usually shown?  (Edit: I see in the video that there aren't any.  :( )  I ask this because I remember when the WeatherStar III and 4000 got stuck in a loop (usually due to a loss of the TWC broadcast signal or other technical error) they would show every product they had built into them for that geographic area.

When I lived in suburban Boston, the XL we had was very bad, and I can't overstate that.  During the morning programming, it was almost guaranteed that there would be no updates for a couple of hours, and all the products would eventually display "no report."  It glitched quite often, even at the best of times.  It even got so bad that the cable company had to switch from Boston's XL to Worcester's during reboots.  (And there's often a huge difference between the weather in Boston and in Worcester.)  Despite adopting both the 4000 and the XL later than many other areas, the cable company fortunately upgraded to the IntelliStar at the first opportunity.

I remember seeing my XL looping once for a while back in 2000. Can't remember if there was audio or not though.

It's the one by Armstrong Communications. I think a kid on YT uploaded an XL clip of it a few years ago

I had a feeling this would happen eventually-- as of this morning all of the LFs during DP are now 60-seconds in length, joining WCL and all of the weekday morning shows  :rolleyes:

I'm still grateful that Weekend View has K Flavors.
