You know, I've been curious as to where my headend is as well.. The bill says its "Comcast of Scotts Valley", however I do recall seeing a rather large comcast building in Santa Cruz, which would make more sense. Also, if my Intellistar was based out of Scotts Valley, the config is shifted way too far south.

I'm not talking about hirad or if there's a tornado warning. I'm talking about if the 4000 were to encounter a METAR report such as this:
KARR 052345Z 25008KT 9SM FC FEW065 23/16 A2990 RMK FUNNEL CLOUD......

Rather than displaying 'partly cloudy' (which would be shown because of 'FEW'), the 4000 would display some kind of tornado icon on the CC screen.

And I can assure you that neither the intellistar nor the XL are capable of reporting tornado/funnel cloud as a current condition.

Speaking of the 4000, does anyone know about or even seen a tornado icon appear on the CC page before?

I don't think one even exists, it would be kinda hard to put something like that on a 4000 or any STAR unless they were definite there was one heading for that STAR's location.

Because someone told me they've seen one once, when 'FC' was reported in the METAR report.

I sample "Smooth Dancer" by Mark Carter and it sounds similiar. Mick Mahan played sax I thought.

No, Mick Mahan plays bass. 

And no, it's not Mark Krurnowski either. There are no keyboards in Mark's songs. Plus, I have all his songs that aired during this time.

Does anyone know the name of this song? It's so familiar, yet I just can't remember the name...

I'm starting to think that this song is either the Mark Carter song or the Mick Mahan song.

Here's a little animated gif showing all the screens on the intellistar I have designed (don't mind the old icons. It was all I had lol) Each screen is about 2 seconds.

My brother just got back from a trip from Portland, OR and while stopping at The Dalles briefly on his way home, he said he saw an XL.

Okay, so I didn't see it myself, but it counts, right??

I contacted him several times on BMI with no reply.

They gave me his email, but it's either outdated, or he didn't reply. >.<

Hmm, they do both sound similiar. Ron Valentine is the only one left then and he's a pianist as well.

Oh fudge. This is one of the few artists I've been completely unable to contact..

Anyone know the name of this song? I think I took it off of someone's video, but I can't find it now. It's from February 2008 overnight.

That's "The Joy of Being" by Joseph Akins. I couldn't find that song earlier because TWC mistakenly labeled the artist as "Joseph Atkins" instead.

(I meant to bring this up awhile ago). Actually, that isn't the Joseph Atkins song. Is the song not on the playlist? I've sampled all the others except for the Ronald Valentine song... God, I hope it's not the Ron Valentine song..

Hmmm, I do think that our new member, 'pickforfood' is in fact TWC artist Jim Lum 

O_o
OMG if it's him...I so want to meet him! His song "For Real" is so beautiful!

I love that song too!! I've heard that he lost it though

I know!!! I was like "awww man".

But you never know. As you recall, he said the same thing about 'Shadow'. Things could turn around.

Yes it is, Alex invited him. BTW, do you know what happened to his song "Under the weather"? Did it get lost like "For Real" as well?

According to him, yes. :/
