No, that occured when the Adelphia headend there was aquired by Time Warner. Comcast never served Sharon, AFAIK.

They could. The ppl in my headend could care less about TWC's STARs. They probably don't even watch TWC. :rolleyes: The Junior is cheaper and look at my intellistar videos? Do you have ever see the Regional Doppler? It hardly rains/snows here so a radar is unnecessary. And a Junior lacks a radar
We're not getting rain because we're in a dry spell, it doesn't mean we never get rain. There are some months where we gets tons of rain. We also get lots of precip in the winter because of nor'easters, and besides the average viewer wouldn't want a Junior. They use outdated hardware and software, and also hard to upgrade and make changes to because they have no harddrive or OS. The IntelliStar also has much more useful products, such as air quality and getaways, which satisfies the average viewer.

But no one in area watches TWC. I can't tell you how many times I have heard offensive things about TWC from my neighbors and friends at school. Most common "TWC is gay". :no:

It looks like TWC is now in "Storm Alert" mode, but they haven't thrown up the music on the LF. Also, they skipped a LF at the top of the hour, and they just ran a 1-minute LF.

Huh.  This wasn't a typical 1M flavor.

What about the Comcast headend in Sharon, pa? They had an IS and downgraded to an XL.
That XL has since been upgraded, and merged with other regional headends, and is now part of the "Grove City/Mercer/Slipper Rock" headend. And yes, that is how the LF pages are titled (with 3 cities).

My WeatherSTAR 4000 is currently having timing problems. It just showed the :58 screen with the cable provider at 8:17 with commercials playing in the background and then went to the local on the 8's with the commercials playing.

They're skipping all the :08 and :38 local forecasts because the :00 and :30 segments are running for ten minutes.

I may be crazy, but I've noticed that when local forecasts seem to run off schedule, the IntelliStar radars seem to go down. I've seen it happen countless times before.
