Well, I am really curious to know how this is affecting the XL or 4000. I am going up to Mt Pleasant tomorrow, and I certainly hope to find an XL. Were all these flavor changes only meant to affect the Intellistar?
Jeremy told me the XL flavor's are unaffected.

Oh wow, I didn't know that. He hasn't been active in ages, and I sure wish he would post another XL video soon.

Well, here's post 10,800 in the "Local Forecast" thread. Anyway, the 12:28 PM EDT LF opened right to the 8 city 'guesses' segment. I am still trying to get used to that.

Does anyone know if these flavor changes are just the beginning of what could be coming later this summer? :dunno:

Hmm, that's odd  :thinking:

Anyway, the Comcast headend here in the E.L. is having problems receiving the video feed from TWC, but the audio is fine. What is even more bizzarre is that the Intellistar unit is able to generate the forecasts, and I hear the narration along with the music. Again, the one problem, NO VIDEO!
Is this happening to anyone else? I have an uneducated theory that these flavor changes are behind this, as the weather is fine both here and down in Atlanta.

I never see warnings on my LF anymore, by the time it does show up or scroll on the LF, my Weatherscan headend has been in Severe Weather Mode for a good 30 minutes, how does Weatherscan announce the warning well before TWC does? :wacko:

Well, for starters, I notice the video feed is fine here in Lansing. Anyway, I also see that the :28 LF is not the only one during the day that starts with the 8 city 'guesses' page, as the 8:38 AM EDT LF did :blink:

What exactly are you referring to Pat?  :blink: I know we've heard the rumor of a graphics update this summer, but I don't know if the flavors have anything to do with that. Could be wrong though  :biggrin:

I was wondering if we've seen all the flavor changes now or if this might be just the beginning of a wave of new changes that will continue later into the summer.  Sorry for the confusion.
