Curious question... any reason why the XL didn't get the new weather icons? Not that I like the new icons, because I still don't after almost 2 years...
I would guess the hardware wouldn't support it. Or (more likely) TWC wanted to keep large differences between the XL and IS to encourage cable companies to upgrade their units.

Does anyone have a clip with the XL sleet icon? I need it to see in what direction the little sleet pellets move for my emulator.

When I was at the dentist's in Huntingdon Valley, PA last week, they had me choose what to have on TV so I tuned to TWC. The local forecast was from Willow Grove. Oddly enough, their IntelliStar uses the same exact metro map mine had until last March.

Really, in Delaware? I figured Wilmington would have their own Star. West Chester is pretty far away.
