Help and Support / Slight Issue

« on: November 08, 2012, 06:04:01 AM »

I have a unique system setup to show my weather station next to the emulator. I need to be able to select the program once its running to bring it to the front of the screen ahead of other apps. I used to be able to do this by selecting  alt-tab. The latest release breaks this.

TWC Today News / LAT48s Winter Edition

« on: December 20, 2011, 10:56:27 PM »

To celebrate the first day of winter and the holidays we are having a Local Across the 48s on December 22nd at 7:58pm ET. For those of you not familiar with one of these the concept is pretty simple. We want everyone possible around the country to record their local forecast (in HD/SD or both!) at the exact same time. It's a fun way to see each others local forecasts as well as weather conditions around the country. It is preferred that you record your forecast with a tuner but any type of camera will work as long as background noise is kept to a minimum and there is no shaking. Also try to submit your videos in .avi format. Not required but it helps me out. Thanks!! Looking forward to the submissions.

TWC Today News / STAR Support Requests

« on: August 16, 2011, 01:46:22 PM »

The main purpose of the STAR Support Forum is to report errors with the local forecast. I have noticed the requests for changes has increased recently. Please be concise with your request and attempt to keep any requested changes in the first post. It is not acceptable to keep tacking on change upon change after your initial request has been made. Please remember that having the STAR team participate on this forum is a privilege and as such we should be mindful of our requests. Failure to abide by the rules of the STAR Support Forum will result in immediate suspension.

Thank you.
