Local Forecast / Re: When Did Your Older STAR Get Upgraded To The IntelliStar?

Norristown area IntelliSTAR upgrade:

Comcast
Willow Grove / N. Phila Airport
021895
Feb 10, 2004

Hmm, now that I think about it, I think 21884 may have been upgraded in late February. I know I still remember seeing my XL around Presidents Day weekend that year though.

Bensalem's intellistar (21884/Comcast) was upgraded from an XL around March 2004.

Thanks for sharing!  I've never seen the water temperature screen on Weatherscan.  My area's Weatherscan is a tad on the basic side.

I dare you to beat mine on terms of basic!

Just be grateful you don't live in Rock Hill, SC...

Actually, while Weekend View's ratings are relatively high, WN's are surprisingly low. Only about 2.7 million as of 2007, which made it the second to least popular show (after WO) at the time. The other weekend live shows (Weather Center, PM Edition) didn't have good view counts either, which prompted the long-form.

How's everyone doing this Labor Day weekend?  Hope all of you had a great summer vacation and have a great start to college or school.

Labor Day is my LEAST favorite holiday... I start school in two days. At least I'm only at school from about 7am-12pm this year however.

when will the HD and SD LDL go back to blue, it's 1:17 AM CDT and it's still on "Red Mode" and Earl isn't a threat in the US anymore.

Hopefully after the weekend when the holiday is over and normal schedules come back.

If anyone is interested in any Hurricane Earl clips they are on my Youtube page anytime. IS/HD/Satellite. (link under my location on the left side) various members like Mike and others have videos there also.

Thanks Alex.

They didn't kick me out... they just asked to remove the videos and then they let me go. Now I know not to film any in the alleys of the malls anymore. I wanted to film the elevators at Cherry Hill since they're very modern looking, including one that's a 3-story elevator at a parking deck which has a nice view at the top.

Zach, I was at Cherry Hill Mall, which is owned by PREIT (regional company).

They still play the LF production music from FAAF on Friday nights during long-form though.

Yes, the elevators at the mall here have surveillance cameras. Then shortly thereafter a guard in an SUV approached me as I was getting in my car. I've never seen cameras in any other elevator before.

I should have told him I was a big elevator enthusiast and I only recorded them as a hobby and not as a threat, but I was too nervous.

Those who are into filming elevators, do NOT think about recording them at a shopping mall.... as I got out of the mall today a security guard stopped and asked me to remove all the videos I took of their elevators (since the malls are obscured with security cameras).
