First time I've been getting the generic "This is your weather" on my IS.  Then again, we're in tornado watch and severe thunderstorm warning for the first time since WATT began.

Also, my basemaps are now the correct color.  Finally.  :P

Took long enough. :P Mine didn't convert until near the end of last month.

About my rant about the local cable commercials interrupting the WATT bar? That would have been a nice feature to these forums. :yes:
Either way, it's no wonder why cable companies are getting too much ad revenue. That might be one of the reasons why our monthly bills are rising.  :wall:

As of this afternoon, my STAR's regional radar map has been updated:



Hoquiam and Olympia have been removed, and Ocean Park, Seaside, and Goldendale have been added. I've yet to see what the local radar map looks like.

EDIT: The local radar map was also changed:



Vernonia, Cannon Beach, South Bend and Cathlamet have been removed, and Castle Rock has been added.

The town of Dahlonega, GA was added to the regional radar map (replacing Helen, GA) in my area. I think the radar may have been shifted south some too.

I don't know if this is related to the radar change, but on my IS2hd's radar, Mcallen has changed to McAlllen which is the correct way to spell McAllen. Barely noticed today.

Anyone with satellite noticing issues with the SD LF? The SD LF is zoomed in too far towards the top left and it's been like that for nearly an hour now. It's only the LF that's zoomed in too far, everything else is ok especially when programming is on. I can't be the only one :huh:

EDIT: Seems to have been fixed now

I've noticed my Intellistar 2 is not narrating the CC screen. It occasionally will narrate it but sometimes won't
  :hmm: I'm not sure what it is

My first XL sighting! :thrilled:
Greetings from Pipestem State Park in WV!

I'll make sure to upload a video later. I can't right now, cause the wifi here is too slow.
