Okay... is there at least any guarantee that there will be a nationwide rollout of IS2, or is it likely, or at least possible, that some headends will simply never get one (or be able to use one, thus precluding getting one)?

Simply from his statement earlier it's a Headend to Headend Basis, so think of it as those areas who really need one would get one (if there are no obstacles blocking that installment) in which Comcast's Cable Network is from to my knowledge "Incompatible with the IS2 at this time" which halts a Installation on any Comcast HD headend altogether for the present time.

Local Forecast / Re: Satellite LF Sightings

Satellite LF at 4:08 PM EST, the usual time

There has to be a reason for this, but what could it be?

Some Intellistars in the Northeast still had Wind Chill Advisories/Warnings still fed in the system (which expired at 11am) but the Satellite LF was cued to fix the error.

Should TWC bring back the 3 Day Outlook? (like the XL uses)

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / #22622 Local Forecast (City Switch) Request

« on: January 20, 2011, 11:39:48 AM »

Hey Star Team,

Many residents in my area have asked the local comcast branch for this request (but got a workaround) so i decided to post it here if you could help.

Since 22622 is the Fall River, MA IntelliStar Could Fall River or Somerset (Closest location) become the Primary and receive Local Forecast,Air Quality,Almanac, Current Conditions, 7day etc?

Instead of New Bedford which is 25 minutes away and shows completely different conditions from what was supposed to be the primary location Fall River (due to New Bedford being the primary Fall River is always left out from the forecast which gives a false sense of security to viewers when forecasts for New Bedford are shown instead of Fall River.)

Example: Sunday Morning Fall River was -4 Degrees while New Bedford was 2,

and Monday Morning Fall River was -5 with Sunny Skies while New Bedford was 0 with Fair Skies.

below is a video of the differentiating conditions between the 2 Areas

Snow and Thunder Fall River, MA IntelliStar Blizzard of '11

also please if you could swap Fall River and New Bedford's Places on the LDL

and finally change Fall River on the 8 City current Conditions to New Bedford?

Thanks Star Team, for everyone in Fall River we do appreciate all you do for viewers.

Is the HD STAR beginning to roll out on more Comcast systems? It seems to only be rolling out on smaller cable providers at this point.

1st half of 2011 was the last response i got for Comcast HD Headends.

Nicole's Final Post

After almost 7 years, I am about to walk out of TWC for the last time!
Thank you all for letting me come into your lives, bring you all things weather, and hopefully offer the occasional smile!
So, I don't know what the next chapter of life will hold, or where I will be next, but hopefully new adventures await. I wish you all the best!

And what's that Plant City Freeze graphic....

the Plant City, FL Freeze Graphic showed the Average Freezes for December and it showed 8 Days below freezing compared to the average 1 day.

I saw a promo for TWC Prime Time. I think it could be part of the schedule changes.

I am so confused about what this whole thing means.

I've been checking my guide (since one of the perks of these HD boxes is that the guide goes out two weeks), and I don't see anything different 

The change might take a couple days to a week to take effect on cable boxes because they were already scrambled before showing Storm Stories @ 5 around the end of 2010.

Weatherscan Discussion / Re: WeatherScan HD? Some peopel had said they are seeing new WeatherScan channel on

« on: January 19, 2011, 06:36:17 PM »

Just to put icing on the cake, If there was any rumors about Wxscan going HD your the one wasting your time listening to that false rumor. TWC won't waste their time with WeatherScan if they thought it needed to go HD.

Darn, i should've posted it but oh well, The Plant City Freeze graphic was using the XL V3 Background. it was at a different angle.

Did you capture this?? for sure it must have been a dedication to me if they were talking about the temps here and used a diff. bg

@Alex: What time was it? I might be able to find it on DVR.

it was around 12pm but they kept doing it throughout the day when they brought up Plant City, FL

My XL broke once in 2008 and showed the satellite forcast. The XL got fixed when that hurrcane hit Texas(don't know when) If you got this or something else happened let me know!

You have an XL? What is your cable provider, just to see if I have that provider in my area.

Boston has TWC on 47 and WxScan on 245

Most areas of comcast have 47 and 245 In Massachusetts so it could be outside the Boston area, take your pick

after a 4 day hangover of Satellite due to my star being down Partial Satellite @ 3:48 but my IS cued a couple seconds late.

Local Forecast / Re: smooth Jazz coming back to the weather channel?

« on: January 18, 2011, 07:42:51 PM »

Im just saying its not the rock and roll music like they used to have. I was just wandering what people were thinking about there being more Smooth Jazz than rock and roll these days?

There will never be that again, TWC is aiming their choices to average viewers as pointed out tirelessly throughout the forums.
