STAR Upgrading Question

[CriminalCola]

I actually saw my 4000 get updated to a XL back in January of 2005 (Don't know why they went to XL instead of IS) but it was later at night, around 10:30PM. I remember it showed one or two satelite forecasts, then went black for awhile and after that TWC came back on with the new XL with the new narrations which were kind of a let down because the narrations cut into the music.

I'm not entirely sure exactly when my I got my IS (though I know it was in March). In fact, I have a clip of it in it's "early days" from March 7, 2004, which could very well be in the first week of my IS's "life". (

OH!  Didn't realize that you wanted when the STAR itself was upgraded.

Mine's an interesting tale...we had the XL up until April 2006.  Indiana just started using Daylight Savings, and our XL's time was not accurate (I posted to the STAR Team about it...someone had to manually reset the machine).  The headend (Comcast) never did...the next day, we got the IStar...with setting for both my area and Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.

I don't remember the details because I wasn't really watching TWC all that much in my younger days, but I do remember that I woke up on a Saturday, watched the Lot8s with the XL, went to the mall for about an hour and a half, ate lunch for about 45 minutes, went grocery shopping for another hour, and came home.  This was a span of about 3 hours and 45 minutes.  When I came home, I checked the LF again and the IS had replaced my XL.

How can I tell if I have Intellistar or XL?

An intellistar looks like this:

While an XL looks like this.

The intellistar is the most frequently used.

You went to the Mall? The Galleria down highway 150?

I wish that the Comcast headend in Bonita Springs, Florida would stop procrastinating upgrading to an IS from an XL. I need all the help I can get to get them to do that b/c I am going down there 3 weeks from yesterday. The WxSTAR ID # for that headend is 002293.

So you want them to upgrade to an IS? Can't say I know many people who would say that. Most would rather see the XL.

Could you get a clip of it? I like to see XL clips.

Cant argue with you there. While visiting some friends on the Outer Banks, NC I was able to get a few clips of the XL down there.

Wow, an XL in the Outer Banks? I go there once in awhile, so maybe next time I go down there I'll see it!
