They could try to launch a satellite for each city like what they did with the local brodcast stations.

Thats not how it works

Just imagine if that's how it actually was... satellites would be so crowded they'd be crashing into each other about every tenth of a second.

Haha true. Its already crowded up there

The new guy was alright Martin. When I heard Nick Walker say they had a NEW Hurricane Expert, my heart dropped! It's not going to be the same without Dr. Lyons being there. I do wish him the best though :-)

Well thats ok at least. I agree. I miss Steve! I see you have been a member for a while but welcome anyway

Oh, I found out what we need for it. I don't have the $2.99 for it, and I'm not going to use the read-only version.

We already have this. I have that app and its ok. You can get a free version thats read only

I see no errors or issues on our side. I haven't experienced any of those errors

Even DIsh is capable of having this technology, would it mean that cable intellistars on DISH are possible in the near future as well?

That I highly doubt.

How? I thought Dish didn't have headends.

Weather Cast was going to use specialized broadcast methods to provide regional data. TWC will likely use the same or even (if Dish wants to foot the bill) do like they do with local channels.

Martin, they'd have to go in space and take care of that on their satellites. And then it wouldn't be local.

You do know DISH has locals right? I am not saying a WeatherScan for every city but strategically placed and layed out it wouldn't be hard to do regional systems.

Its a win win for everyone.
TWC brings more attention to WeatherScan (something they were planning on anyway)
DISH gets local 24/7 weather
Its CHEAP and requires no outside company and personnel.
TWC can keep doing its programming as is.
WeatherScan could probably even be used for the dual feed (can it already?)

I don't know if it's just me because my internet's been having problems on and off today, but has there been a lot of "An Error Has Occurred" 's for anyone else on the forums today?

Error logs seem normal to me. Just a few hits here and there.

A new Weatherscan feed is expected to be launched in 2010 for Dish Network subscribers, to replace The Weather Cast service that had been founded as a replacement for The Weather Channel as a result of a carriage dispute.

That makes no sense. Why not just add WeatherScan to the lineup?

I just looked at the guide and it now lists the old Weather Cast channel as TWC2. Maybe they're going to do our idea of a second channel for people that are only interested in weather.

They are just adding weatherscan units everywhere

You would be surprised how many insane calls local stations get. Probably even more so for national stations like TWC. And thus this is why sending in complaints is virtually pointless on a small scale
