Luckily for me, my Charter headend still has the SD feed but still no IS2 on the HD channel. I certainly hope that Charter doesn't start simulcasting the HD feed onto the SD channel before they get the IS2.  :lol:  :P

For $2.80, I bought a McChicken and small fries for dinner last night at McDonald's. I also unexpectedly got a free chocolate milkshake, which was actually a screwed-up order for someone who ordered after I did (whipped cream added by mistake) so the server guy asked me if I wanted the first shake and I said sure.  :happy:  I guess you can say that was a bonus!  :lol:  :P

Glad to hear this site's back up and running.  :)  I wonder why the host provider took it down in the first place. Guess that doesn't really matter anymore.  :P

The greeting texts have been getting cut off at the edge of the screen today.



Anyone else seeing this error on their end?

Thought I should share this. It's a documentary video from 1996:

The Weather Channel- Target: Tornado


The video was taken from a copy of the VHS tape that was released in '96 as part of TWC's Tornado VHS Collection. I purchased the tape at a yard sale a few years back, and I recently found the tape while cleaning out my closet.

Here are pictures I took of the VHS box and tape:

If you haven't seen it already, enjoy the video!  :)

Also, here's a commercial of the Tornado Collection, from the same VHS tape:

Can't wait for the relaunch!  :)  Hopefully the LOT8's overhaul will be a big improvement compared to the current boring graphics.

The Seattle Mariners came very close to making it into the Wild Card playoffs, until the A's beat the Rangers yesterday which eliminated the M's from the playoffs. Booo!!!  :thumbdown: :itsok:

I noticed this morning that the number of products on the bottom of the IntelliSTAR LF are now 3 instead of 4. The Summary product doesn't appear at the end of the screen until Now transitions into Today.

Also, the time bar on the products now has white overlapping gray (similar to the IS2/IS2 Jr) where before it was the other way around.

Never heard these narrations before:

  • "Some light rain will fall throughout the day."
  • "A steady rain. The rain will be heavy at times."

I don't suppose anyone else here has heard either narration either?  :dunno:
