I hope Kyle can get his back up. It had quite a few Star IDs in its database already.

Well I got some bad news at 4:00 this evening....my grandmother is dead. We knew it was going to happen sometime this week, so its no real shock to anyone. She's finally out of her pain though, so we're glad of that.

Im so sorry for your loss

Take a look at this:

I wouldn't want to go to jail there, but atleast they get the Weather Channel

"The only TV channels inmates can watch are the Disney Channel and the Weather Channel. When asked why the Weather Channel, he replied, "So they will know how hot it's going to be while they are working on my chain gangs."

I found an interesting article on that Mobile TWC campaign from a while back.

I never knew it was such a big promotion

Speaking of Network news. Election coverage. If you do watch, which one do you think does the best. I like ABC and George Stephanapolis' coverage.

Im real glad ABC News finally went HD!

I have 2 of the same WeatherScan IntellStar feeds on Ch.245 & Ch. 845 is anyone else seeing this and is there anyway of this being a problem or being permanent for WeatherScan HD in the future?
I've had 2 feeds since 2004 or 05
ch. 19 & ch. 116

Nothing to worry about just something strange your cable head did.

I emailed TWC for the September 2008 Playlist and haven't gotten it yet Hopefully Chris will give it to me tomorrow.

Looking forward to that

If anyone is interested I posted some more videos of the Intellistar at NASA Langley in Hampton, Va. It was somehow removed from TWCs database (according to the star support) had has not been updated since last year. I was shocked seeing that old ldl.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: No Music on Star and Star's Timing is off.

« on: August 28, 2008, 09:04:26 PM »

I think they think I work for a cable company now

Oh well the point is that the problem gets fixed

I agree the guys over there are awesome! Several gave me their direct phone number if I had anymore issues. They are always tickled when people know whats going on.

Local Forecast / Re: Still Have WeatherStar XL, But why?

« on: August 28, 2008, 01:37:39 AM »

For a cable company with a smaller budget and equipment that still works fine I see no reason to upgrade. IS features like traffic most likely are not going to be in your area. Thats a big reason not to upgrade IMO.

Interesting. We had a similar problem while I was down in the OBX. The XL would start to early and then for some strange reason all audio except the star and local ads was gone. It turned out the headend had done something stupid with the audio feed. Star support fixed them right up. Very strange this same thing is happening to you. The XL starting early was a hardware issue and it had to be replaced. Since you have an IS and the lf starts later I think thats a simple problem. I would call Star support and let them know and call your cable company too.
