We can use that banner for the top of this forum

No, because it's something TWC created. It's best to put something our members created on the forums to avoid copyright concerns from TWC.

I think Gil might have it. I remember he called him once about a year or two ago.

They could. The ppl in my headend could care less about TWC's STARs. They probably don't even watch TWC. The Junior is cheaper and look at my intellistar videos? Do you have ever see the Regional Doppler? It hardly rains/snows here so a radar is unnecessary. And a Junior lacks a radar

We're not getting rain because we're in a dry spell, it doesn't mean we never get rain. There are some months where we gets tons of rain. We also get lots of precip in the winter because of nor'easters, and besides the average viewer wouldn't want a Junior. They use outdated hardware and software, and also hard to upgrade and make changes to because they have no harddrive or OS. The IntelliStar also has much more useful products, such as air quality and getaways, which satisfies the average viewer.

No, that occured when the Adelphia headend there was aquired by Time Warner. Comcast never served Sharon, AFAIK.

Impossible. Cable companies (especially media giants like Comcast) don't like to hear the word "downgrade."

Besides, Comcast upgraded most of Philadelphia area XL's to the IntelliStars circa January-February 2004, before it even went out of beta. So they weren't late in upgrading.

No one knows my age.

Your 16 years old

Roland, do you think he wanted you to disclose his age here?

I noticed my Weatherscan is using a backup location on the Surf report, a buoy near Islip, NY (instead of Cape May). I didn't know there was a backup feature for the surf reports!

Do any of the packages have Lifestyles openers? I've yet to see this in any show. Also, have we seen WC's regional openers yet?

I have 2 of the same WeatherScan IntellStar feeds on Ch.245 & Ch. 845 is anyone else seeing this and is there anyway of this being a problem or being permanent for WeatherScan HD in the future?

I've had 2 feeds since 2004 or 05
ch. 19 & ch. 116

For a few months in 2004 and again for a few days in 2007, Weatherscan here was on both basic channels 119 and 120. They were from the same headend too.

Wow, you guys are all lucky that you get "breaks" and long lunches. NJ doesn't allow us to do that!
