Now twc showing another "The Severe Weather Authority" promo

2 quotes from Tornado Survivors on the promo

"I was Watching The Weather Channel, so we are alive."

"You all we're telling us where it (The Tornado) was gonna be."

And Jim Cantore towards the end of the promo says "I would not be surprised if you save many many lives."

I would be able to upload a video of this if anyone would like to see it?

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Re: 26820 - No Ls

« on: May 21, 2010, 07:46:23 PM »

Right now on IStar 26820 , Severe T'Storm Watch 199 is scrolling on the yellow LDL with all the Ls replaced by what appears to be underscores.

i.e. THE WEATHER CHANNEL reads THE WEATHER CHANNE_.

(Well, it stopped scrolling just now, but still.)

This happened to my star during a T'storm watch with all the T's replaced with periods

like Somerse. (Somerset), .aun.on (Taunton), Ma..apoisse.. (Mattapoisett)

Picked up a PlayStation 2 at a yard sale this morning for $5. The system powers on, but it won't read any disks. The optical drive is making a loud clicking noise. Looks like the laser drive mechanism may be striped out.

wow hopefully a Maxell lens cleaner could fix that laser drive problem

Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion

Yesterday (2010-05-20 14:38-0500), I saw IntelliStar 22689 displaying "Temporarily unavailable." under "Today" in the Local Forecast product. Unfortunately, I was in a public place when I saw it, and I could not tell if it used the "Our local forecast" narration because that television's volume was either muted or very low.

I can confirm that narration was used, you should hear it in my playlist posted above.

I just got Dish HD for my room (had Dish SD before) and I'm am so mad !!! Have you guys seen The Weather Cast? while the graphics and the LDL looks nice, the people are not TWC quality!  ACCUweather looks better!  I say Dish should keep both 

BTW,
after I restarted Dish Weather cast is on 213 and TWC is still on 214,
SO  when is TWC leaving? or did Dish already save it?

Midnight Tonight.

I couldn't agree with Dish more, That's TWC's fault for putting on movies and long form programming on a channel that's supposed to be dedicated to Weather Coverage not entertainment

Something is terribly wrong with the SD Istar feed. Audio gone and only a Flick and a Forecast ad on the bottom left side with no Istar LDL or even Satellite LDL

Edit: Local Xfinity Ads are working.

Also Blank ID screen so the Istar is down. is anyone else encountering this on their end?

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Comcast Rebranding Services to "xfinity"

« on: May 20, 2010, 11:11:29 AM »

Then you should be getting a statement in the CC bill saying which channels would be affected by the rebranding and a HD channel list of what's to come for the Atlanta Area.

I didn't get any changes regarding channels and we've had xfinity since February. To be honest, Xfinity is just the same old Comcast with a different name that they think would get people to switch back to them.

I used to think that before i got the "world of more" flyers in the mail in mid february.
