What STAR where?
« on: August 10, 2007, 11:34:11 PM »
Thought this might be an interesting topic. What STAR does your area have? What STAR's do other area's that you know of have? It'll be interesting to see how much info we can gather. I'll start.

Here in Baltimore we have the IS. In fact, every area in the state now has the IS. The DC area also has the IS.

This is a good idea, however, I think we should have a "National STAR Database" featuring STARs across the country

Being the 3rd largest city in the country (:D), the entire surrounding area has IntelliSTAR, 95% of which is Comcast.
I'm pretty sure there are some other STARs (non-IS) not far outside the metro area.

I have no idea about other places around here, but I'd guess most places around my area have IntelliStars. But, some nearby towns have/had Adelphia, so I suppose there could be some XLs, 4000s, or Juniors around here that I don't know about.

It has been a while since I posted...

My area and best friend's area:
Punxsutawney, PA - WeatherStar XL v3 (no narration) - Comcast Cable*
Indiana, PA - IntelliStar - Comcast Cable*
Blairsville, PA - IntelliStar - Comcast Cable*
Somerset, PA - IntelliStar - ?
Donegal, PA (including Acme) - IntelliStar - Armstrong Cable
Stahlstown, PA - WeatherStar XL v3 (with the limited narration) - Laurel Highlands Total Communications
Altoona, PA - IntelliStar - ?*

My vacation area:
Wildwood, NJ - IntelliStar** - Comcast Cable

I was in Harrisburg for business:
Harrisburg, PA - IntelliStar - Comcast Cable
Harrisburg, PA - WeatherScan IntelliStar - Comcast Cable

*All these were formerly Adelphia
**This IntelliStar might service the coastal towns of Southern NJ from Atlantic City south to Cape May, not sure

EDIT: Forgot I saw the IntelliStar at an Applebees in Altoona. Not sure of the cable company, it used to be Adelphia... but that leaves 2 guesses as to what the cable company is  :)

I have the pleasure (:huh:) of seeing an IntelliSTAR every 10 minutes.

I do know that Comcast in Sevierville, TN still uses the WeatherSTAR XL.

Well, I've been checking TWC in many areas around Philadelphia and they all have the IntelliStar through Comcast. I hope someday I'll visit some rural area (such as the pine barrens in east central New Jersey) so I'll have a better chance of seeing a different STAR. I'm desperate to especailly see the XL version 3 in person.

Tyler once hosted a STAR database a while back but he stopped it since trolls kept messing it up.
