Weatherscan Discussion / Comcast Question

« on: July 15, 2010, 04:58:07 PM »

Does anyone how I can contact Comcast to request a change to my Weatherscan? I tried calling both 1-800-Comcast and tried contacting my headend via email, but they keep telling me I have to contact TWC for these changes when I know the company has to request the changes.

Here's what I got from my office's Meteorologist in Charge:

Thanks for the quick reply.  There was a policy change back in the 2004
timeframe that introduced much more structure into what could (and could
not) be used as a headline.  This change was driven by customer feedback
that providing a standardized set of headlines would allow for better
automated handling of the products.   We lost some flexibility as a
result of that change, but improved the ability of our private sector
partners to always be able to process and distribute our
watch/warning/advisory products.

I'm not sure. Millville, and Glassboro's Comcast systems will also introduce TWC HD.

Well I sure hope Cherry Hill does. They have a lot more customers than South Jersey's other three systems.

Isn't that the TV they used for the Hurricane Central/winter weather set in the old studio?

TWC HD will be coming to the Comcast headend in Pleasantville, NJ on Tuesday. Hopefully, we'll be getting a chance to see this in the not too far future!

Does this also apply to Comcast of Cherry Hill? I've been waiting foR TWCHD for awhile.
