No Marine Forecasts on DirecTV LFs
« on: August 03, 2012, 11:45:19 PM »
Should DirecTV start providing Marine Forecasts for coastal subscribers? There are a lot of subscribers who live close to a body of water and want to know how the surf is looking.

The DirecTV forecast is already limited enough to where even important non-coastal products could be displayed, so no for me. Also, if I were you, I wouldn't rely on TWC at all for marinal and tidal information. :no:
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

Best thing to do is get cable if you want marine info, since it's shown on coastal IntelliStars.
