Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion

« on: June 20, 2008, 03:31:43 PM »

Flavors are pretty much back to normal now, but the forecast for today is still unavailable, thus the "our local forecast" narration is heard on the 48 hour forecast. I've recorded the past four LF's and I'll have them uploaded early next week.

Another weird flavor:

Current Conditions
Metro Conditions
Local Observations
Regional Conditions
Regional Radar
Local Radar
Radar/Satellite


Apparently my STAR had just rebooted, causing all information to be lost. I recorded this and I'll have it on YouTube in a little bit.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Comcast Sucks.

« on: June 20, 2008, 12:23:12 PM »

Comcast got rid of Weatherscan in Atlantic City. My friend has digital cable and Weatherscan eas included in the digital cable package. Now channel 101 is just a blank screen

Yeah, I saw that too when I went down last month. It said something along the lines of "Weatherscan is not available, please call for assistance." My guess is that it was moved to a higher tier.

I just hope this doesn't mean I'll be saying goodbye to Weatherscan here on basic cable. It's odd that it is, because Comcast doesn't even list it on their basic cable lineup. Even if they do get rid of it, I'll be seeing it again when I get FiOS in the coming months, although it won't be a truly local forecast (the downside of having FiOS).

That's not a channel I'd want to watch, though. They need to put GSN, Weatherscan, QVC among others in the basic lineup!

Anyone ever took British Airways? I took that to London in 2005 and their service was pretty good.

Can't wait until it comes here! I should be getting FiOS within the next few months.

Programming and Graphics / Re: How would you rate the June 2nd HD Launch?

« on: June 19, 2008, 08:27:14 PM »

What do you mean "ancient blue LDL?" It just came out 2-3 weeks ago.

I doubt we'll see much more major changes to the STAR's until TWC is sold.
