Not meant to advertise or anything, but I have a website that has all the latest information that automatically updates. Plus, I put a free ad for TWCT on my blog

Maybe make the radar smaller and the main box larger. I would also make the text about 4 or 5 px smaller.


Just a bit of constructive criticism.

HD STAR Idea

This is by far the best video I've ever made.

IMO, it's a little too cluttered

My latest video, once again features a Weatherstar 4000 emulation and a personalized forecast loosely based on the Intellistar format.

Sorry for the double post, but I just happened to be looking at people born on February 11 (my birthday), and look who I found that was born on my birthday!




Pretty cool, huh?

I get my braces on tomorrow! Wish me luck! I'll post a picture afterwards.

Hope it went well. I hated my time with braces but I doubt anyone actually loves it. I still ate all the bad foods though haha

Well, I got them on, and right now they are as sore as !!!! Been taking Ibuprofen, and it seems like the pain is going away.

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Warning Crawl Issues...?

« on: July 14, 2011, 07:52:14 PM »

I'm not sure if this is an issue, but it's definitely something that needs to be addressed.

1. There is a FFW scroll on Weatherscan right now (only Weatherscan, not TWC). I'm pretty sure that the warning is outside of the STAR's coverage area, which would mean it shouldn't be scrolling...right? (See attachment).

2. As mentioned in #1, the warning is only scrolling on Weatherscan, not TWC. I think this is related to a problem that Memphis' IS had earlier today. The IS cut out mid-forecast with no audio.



And of course, I don't know exactly where the STAR's coverage area is, but I thought I would let you know of this.

Thanks for checking into it

STAR ID: 24745
Weatherscan ID: 27526
Provider: XFINITY
CC City: Memphis

EDIT: While I was posting, the FFW ticker disappeared, but the warning is still active.

I wish they would remove the extra blue box space on the DirecTV IS's corner ads.. Ive seen it covering up some data on the SLF

However, what I dont get is why the Dish STAR doesnt have this box.. the Dell ad running today had the blue box around it in the corner ad on DirecTV but Dish's doesnt

(video of it on Dish)
Satellite Local Forecast on July 14, 2011

I think that this box is on the DirecTV IS ads because of the DirecTV LF app's window to show the ads and so the animations in the background dont distract the viewer.. but it makes no sense

It's due to the DirecTV LF App. They want it to fill the ad space.

This is a new one

The IS cut out mid-forecast but the LDL stayed on...

EDIT: Cut out again at :08, no audio and no LDL this time. I think our IS is re-booting.
