Nice find!
 
Wow, I can tell how old that crawl is. "Because Viewers live by it..." is on that ad crawl, so it must of been added during the LBI era.
I wonder how the old the rest of the cable system there is as well.

and if some does unhook the cable scan for digital cable stuff as well.

The channel number is 11. (TWC is on channel 32 for some reason when the STAR displays 11)

And here is a video. SORRY NO AUDIO. Sorry about the shakiness.
Mackinac Island has it's own cable system that is not the same as rest of Charter in the area? is there a high number of analog channels there? Is digital cable there? HD?
VOD?

I've seen something like this before. When we had Comcast, a tech came out to replace our downstairs STB. He plugged it in, turned it on and went outside to his van. I turned on TWC, and to my surprise, was seeing STAR #22434 (New Ken/Allegheny Valley,) while all my other TV's showed #22438 (Penn Hills). I turned to Weatherscan and was getting the Allegheny Valley Weatherscan, too. Then he came back in, ran through the diagnostics menu, reprogrammed it, entered a long number, which set it to receive the feed from the Penn Hills headend, and thus, I was seeing the right STAR again. Very interesting!
nice way to waste bandwidth comcarp!

On the television I have with the Digital Cable Box hooked up, the bar on the bottom of the screen and the local on the 8s gives me weather information for Utica, NY which is the correct info for where I live, however on the other TVs with just a cable wire going to them the bar on the bottom and local on the 8s gives me weather information for an entirely different area about 10 miles east of me.  Anyone ever experienced this or might know what causes this?  I contacted the cable company through email and they are trying to tell me to unplug my non digital box TVs for 30sec and it will reset.  I don't think that will work though.
I may not be of help, but IMO that's cool! There must be a headend conflict.
or analog cable is being feed from a different head end

is it free to air or scrambled?

51
is it free or scrambled? like the old on tv OTA scrambled tv channels.

Will die on the analog turn off date?

go OTA digital? OTA HD Digital?

I don't like the late night repeats why can't they show a weather scan like feed at that time.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: DirecTV/DISH Question

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.
bandwidth you can't get them on direct tv with a AM21 on the HDDVR and HD box.

You know what would be better than long-form? They could just air the emergency feed with Christmas music and LDL all day, along with the LOT8's and a few commercial breaks in between.
Run weather scan on the main channel + long LOT8's brakes.

56
Yeah...including a TCF. Weatherscan on TWC!
If they that national for all or national for head ends with out a star? They should need some WEATHER PLUS stuff.

Should they have a Weatherscan HD?

Weatherscan national 24/7 for systems that don't have a star?

57
I argree. They should also bring back the six minute "O" flavor.
Or have a longer late night one with pages from weather scan also places like Chicago need 2 map pages for traffic at times or it being better fitted that show all of the roads maybe centered on ohare airport the official weather station for Chicago maybe on the hd star.

NBC Weather Plus does show more then one map page.

I think what he's saying is that TWC Austrailia shows something like WxScan during the overnight hours instead of repeating shows like our TWC does at night, and he is asking if we think our TWC SHOULD do what TWC Austrailia does.  :yes:
Now you got it.

59
I'm having trouble understanding what it is your trying to say... :thinking:

I was asking if they should replace the overnight non live / repeated forecast with a ver of weather scan in national form and or longer local weather forecasts.

TWC Australia does have overnight weather automation.
