I think what he's saying is that TWC Austrailia shows something like WxScan during the overnight hours instead of repeating shows like our TWC does at night, and he is asking if we think our TWC SHOULD do what TWC Austrailia does.  :yes:
Now you got it.

Makes sense and I am all for it. Get old seeing the same thing repeated each night.

I argree. They should also bring back the six minute "O" flavor.

Or have a longer late night one with pages from weather scan also places like Chicago need 2 map pages for traffic at times or it being better fitted that show all of the roads maybe centered on ohare airport the official weather station for Chicago maybe on the hd star.

NBC Weather Plus does show more then one map page.

If they that national for all or national for head ends with out a star? They should need some WEATHER PLUS stuff.

Should they have a Weatherscan HD?

Weatherscan national 24/7 for systems that don't have a star?

For headends with Weatherscan, the WxScan STAR output would run for
  • hours.


Now that I think of it, this would not work well.
