Well, 'False'point (as I like to call it) is now guessing I have received 2.58" of precipitation this month, when it said 2.63" just a few minutes ago.

How often does 'False'point update? Once a day around midnight like the legitament observations are done, or is it instaneous?

lol, Falsepoint. Odd how the precip total dropped, though.

Does anyone know exactly when the :20 and :50 segments were split to two segments? I know not too long ago (like 3-4 years ago) the Weekly Planner and Storm Watch were 5-6 minutes long with no commercial breaks.

Speaking of ad crawls, I've seen IntelliStars in the area (pretty much all along interior South Jersey) showing ads about a cigar shop in the area, and has for years. Isn't it illegal to advertise tobacco products?

Okay, it will be awhile before I get the chance to capture my Weatherscan's summer playlist. I should have it up within a few weeks, though.

TWC and your Cable Company / DirecTV/DISH Question

« on: April 14, 2009, 02:46:53 PM »

If satellite providers have local channels, then why don't they carry NBC Plus/WeatherPlus and the AccuWeather Channel? Unlike TWC's STARs, these channels aren't powered in the headend but rather by the affiliates, so I don't understand why they aren't carried.

I'm seeing a Pollen Report right now on Atlantic City's Weatherscan, which is usually a sign that the summer segments are here or coming soon. Is anyone getting summer segments yet?

I was about to buy a song from iTunes, and noticed that some songs are $1.29 now.
 Meanwhile there are some music videos that have dropped fifty cents to $1.49.

I noticed my Brockton,MA Headend still has Ski up, i think this will change to garden in the next week.

Yes, the Star Team told me they just started switching Weatherscans to the summer segments last week. The headends here should be switched soon. They go from south to north.

No, they just think having the sidebar is more important. They make the studio feed 4:3 in order to make it fit.

Complete BS if you ask me. I thought one of the major points and advantages of having HD is a wider view. The sidebar ruins the purpose of that.
