Bug Reports / Outdated 36 Hour Data / Can't Change

« on: June 04, 2014, 06:52:17 PM »

I ran the emulator for the first time in over a year so I don't know how long it has been doing this, but the data is long out of date on my 36 hour forecast. I tired changing zone numbers and get this error:

NWS Zone: paz106

Data from NWS does not provide tabular Extended forecast data, try a close neighboring state.

Any other zones I try that don't give out the error still give me outdated forecast data.

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Intellistar 2 concerns

« on: April 29, 2014, 03:47:14 PM »

This topic was approved by phw115wvwx.

Comcast affiliates throughout Philadelphia have recently acquired the Intellistar2 HD, and I was wondering. Has our headend expanded or something because I'm getting cities from Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester counties now. If this is the case I'm okay with having the STAR centered on Camden County, however the current choice of Aududon is a very small borough that most people this far north don't really know about. Can Cherry Hill be used instead? This is a much larger and familiar township to almost everyone in South Jersey right next to Audubon that has a lot of attractions, while at the same time also is pretty much dead on center of the new viewing area. Also, why isn't Philadelphia included at all on any of the radars? If this can be changed too that would be great.

Thanks,
Mike

Has anyone noticed how TWC didn't use floor directors in the old studio, but in the current HD studio they do? Why is this?

General Discussion / Six Strikes Plan

« on: February 25, 2013, 09:40:20 PM »

So today after a several months delay the "six strikes"policy has been put into effect by many ISPs including Comcast, Time Warner, Cablevision, and Verizon. So I can be spied at any time by my ISP and have my internet speed cut over sharing and downloading music and fan-artwork that is "copyrighted."

What are y'all's insight on this?

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Weatherscan Destination Forecasts

« on: December 10, 2012, 05:37:35 PM »

Up until this past Spring Weatherscans in southern New Jersey have always had national cities on the Destination Forecasts, whereas in southeastern Pennsylvania there are regionalized cities that display on this segment, with the first page showing different destinations varying by season. However this past Spring, when Pennsylvania's headends began showing the summer destination cities, the update was also applied to NJ's units as well, however with national cities still being shown on the other two pages. I'm not sure if this was intentional or was indeed a mistake. As of today we're still getting PA's normal summer destinations in New Jersey (New York City, Long Beach Island, Cape May - normally they would be New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles), while the winter locations have been activated in PA's STARs as of last week.

As for particular units, I know this issue is affecting Atlantic City and Vineland - both on Comcast. So I'm assuming all the units in this market are having this issue.

Thanks for looking into this.

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Wrong IntelliStar Feed? (21876)

« on: July 08, 2012, 10:48:12 PM »

Hello there,

I was vacationing for the July 4th holiday at Sea Isle City, NJ and noticed that a different IntelliStar from the Atlantic City Boardwalk (21897) has been broadcasting instead of our normal STAR based on Atlantic/Cape May County and the Delaware Beaches areas (21876). Was this intentional or just a headend error? While Atlantic City isn't too far, the metro map is a bit inadequate for residents of Cape May County as the southern half of it is not shown on the map... it's more focused on the northern areas of the city.

Thanks for any help,

Mike
