I will upload a video if possible.
-
Do you happen to know any of the following?
- Cable Provider
- Channel # (and what the STAR Displays)
- STAR ID
- CC Reporting Site
This info would be great so I (or someone else) can edit the Wikipedia article. :)

Not yet. I'll find out and post a video if possible.

You've at least got to know the CC Reporting site if you saw it's a 4000. :unsure:
-
The CC reporting site is Mackinac Isl. (Mackinac Island)
The cable provider is Charter media. (Charter Communications)
The STAR ID is 006194
The channel number is 11. (TWC is on channel 32 for some reason when the STAR displays 11)
And here is a video. SORRY NO AUDIO. Sorry about the shakiness.
-
Wow, this is incredible. I did not believe cable was even available at all on the island, let alone them having their own STAR. Don't worry WeatherSTAR3000fan, I may be able to try to get up there to record it myself if you can't (no promises though).
-
I just uploaded a video. The link is on the post that has all the STAR info.
-
Nice find! I like the configuration of that 4000.

Thanks. And now here is a better video of the 4000. STILL NO AUDIO.
-
wow awesome
-
UPDATE: I saw some very minor gradient degradation that is hardly noticeable in the videos.

Mackinac Island has it's own cable system that is not the same as rest of Charter in the area? is there a high number of analog channels there? Is digital cable there? HD?
VOD?
-
IDK. BTW a video with audio is coming soon. :thrilled:

What hotel/location did you find this at? I need to know if I do end up going up there.

I found it at the Grand Hotel.

Ah okay, that is what I had figured. Can you look to see if you can unhook the cable from the TV or wall at all?

In my room. The cable is accessable at the TV so yes it can be unplugged from the back of the TV.

Awesome! :thrilled: Now if only I could find the money.......

Nice find!
Wow, I can tell how old that crawl is. "Because Viewers live by it..." is on that ad crawl, so it must of been added during the LBI era.
-
Thanks. And Oh no. I just saw some minor degradation on the extended forecast product (Top portion of the three boxes turned pink)
The wiki article needs to be updated to Include the STAR ID and a note saying that it has some slight degradation on the background gradient and extended forecast product at times.
-

I wonder how the old the rest of the cable system there is as well.
and if some does unhook the cable scan for digital cable stuff as well.

Maybe some of us don't want to or just don't have ClearQAM capabilities, OK? :whistling:
-
This maybe this is a meant for Hotels cable system (aka a lot of analog and no digital at all) and they are useing a lot older stuff in the head end and no one wants to pay for TWC ad space.

A cable system that is setup for a place that has a lot of analog tv and cost of putting a box on each one is high. So they just have a lot of analog stuff while in other areas they are moving analog to digital and makeing you get a box on each tv. Like the old weather star with the old scroll ad may point to a old cable system that likely will say as is as the cost to go to digital and then setup a to in hotel digital to analog system will be high and likely a waste. also unlike others areas where hotels and a full city of people are on the same system.
Hotels in other citys may be in for a big mess when analog turns off in there area. In Las Vegas some hotels have a digital system that the cable co developed with the hotels. Mackinac Island, Michigan is likely to small for that. and very few people are there year round as well.
