About an hour ago a tiny gray bar popped up at the bottom-left corner of the screen and TWC started showing the Aberdeen/Bel Air, MD Intellistar instead of my area's (Columbia, MD). I've got absolutely no idea what the heck is going on!! :blink: I'll try to get a pic or something up later.

Well I don't know what the grey bar is, but I think the showing of a different city means something is wrong with HiRAD for your city.

In my experience, sometimes your cable company will show a Star from a neighboring area if your local Star is having problems. I've seen this happen twice, actually: Boston's Star was temporarily replaced by Worcester's, and Daytona Beach's was temporarily replaced by Orlando's. In most cases, it won't last long.

Maybe the first message wasn't clear, which is why we have different answers. While you're assuming it's HiRAD, I'm assuming it's actually a neighboring Star that's being shown instead of the local one. I've seen both cases happen before.

The same thing happened to my Intellistar a long time ago when something was wrong with it and it was showing Intellistar from a close area in Chicago until the problem is solved.
