No, I had always thought that there should be one since Sunday afternoons always seem to cloud up for no apparent reason. There is an "Am Clouds, PM Sun" icon, but no "PM Clouds" icon. Then again, try using one. It would be interesting to see  :thumbsup:

Yeah, that was happening to me too. The LDL did not disappear and re-cue after the 5:58 AM LF either.

I saw that too, but nothing appeared when the DirecTV lf came on, you could see the ldl on the LF, after the local forecast exited.

There is an AM Fog PM Clouds...I made my own version of it. I've only seen it ONCE in an LF, from around Christmas 07 (the Hannibal-Quincy STAR).

I know national broadcasts and the satellite forecast in the late 90's/early 00's did, but I've never seen it on the XL. I can try to make a mockup for you if you want.

I was able to get a quick glimpse of the Harrisburg IntelliStar while in Mechanicsburg yesterday. I couldn't get any clips but here's what I remember...

Carlisle, Dauphin, Mechanicsburg, Millersburg, and I think New Cumberland and Hershey were on the local obs screens. I know there were other cities that were at least 10-15 miles from Harrisburg so this IntelliStar must serve a big area. IIRC, the metro map covered from just east of Chambersburg to Lancaster and from north to south Millersburg to Gettysburg. The regional map was the same as mine, and the ID was 22605 (just three digits off of Billy's Hanover Star).

If I go there next time I'll make sure to bring my camera with an empty memory card...

Thanks Mike. All the IntelliStars in the area seem to have been installed around the same time (possibly by the former Suscom). Lancaster's is 22601, Harrisburg's is 22605, and Hanover's is 22608. What was the current conditions site, forecast title, and almanac location?

CC was Harrisburg, forecast was Harrisburg Area, and the almanac was Harrisburg Int'l. As for IntelliStar ID numbers the same goes for here in Philadelphia. All of the Comcast ones I've seen around here are 218xx, except for Norristown which starts with 25xxx I believe.

That's pretty much how it is all over the country. When the installed the IntelliStars, they did it by cable provider, then by market. All the Comcast Pittsburgh ones start with 224xx.

All the Comcasts in my area (Mount Holly, Camden) start with 218xx... At Dave's house, he has Mount Holly for his Current Conditions screen, and the ID is 21872... I have Camden, which is 21873.
