Do you leave your box on continuously? I know the LF stops showing after 24 hours of leaving your box on and tuned to TWC.

No, I turn it off when no one's watching TV. I don't always leave the TV on TWC because my family watches other stuff.

Today marks the 2-year anniversary of the DirecTV LF premiering

And Wednesday will mark one year since the HD DirecTV LF premiered. Kinda ironic, because it came out the day after I left Vermont and the hotel there had DirecTV HD.

Speaking of which, is it just me, or is the DirecTV LF still using the '06-'10 icons, and not cueing all the time? That happens to both of the receivers in my house.

The icons will likely not change and as for not cuing all the time dont press exit on the remote 

I don't press exit. The LF just doesn't cue most of the time.

This is my 200th post!

All STARs will be getting a major graphics overhaul later this year, even the 4000 and Jr! The 4000 will get a new background and new titlebars, an improved font, and the current TWC logo. The Jr will get graphics for the first time. All other STARs will get new backgrounds and titlebars, including the IS2. All STARs besides the IntelliStar and IntelliStar 2 will get the Interstate and Helvetica Neue fonts, and all STARs besides the IS will get the current icon set. In addition, all STARs besides the IS and IS2 will get new LDLs to match the current big/small one.

Local Forecast / Re: When Did Your Older STAR Get Upgraded To The IntelliStar?

« on: September 24, 2010, 10:23:38 PM »

Insight Communications (now Comcast)
Peoria, IL
22878
March 2004
 
I did remember seeing our XL earlier in March 2004, but I think they replaced sometime around late March. I also can't remember if they changed the ID number once when we got our IntelliStar.

It should have. The IntelliStar ID is a 5-digit number that starts with 2, and no other STAR has that.

I sympathize with Martin's suffering; I've probably broken the record for the most sneezes in a 12 hour period. It's supposed to be in the low to mid-90s until the weekend, until it drastically cools down into the low 80s to high 70s. At which point, I will be in HEAVEN.

I sneeze a lot no matter what. Usually, it's between two or three, sometimes five times in a row, but a few days ago, I sneezed seven times in a row.

That's a very nice room! You're lucky to live in one of those.

Supposed to be 88 tomorrow and 92 on Friday. What a way to start fall.

It's supposed to be 91 today. Mother Nature needs a reality check.
