Weatherscan Discussion / Re: Get Weatherscan on your Cable/Satellite Company!

« on: July 31, 2014, 09:31:03 PM »

I tried calling out of curiosity, and this is the message I got:

Thank you for your interest in Weatherscan. As of June 12th, we are no longer available in select Comcast markets. We've heard from you and your voice is important to us. Please hold while we redirect you to your local Comcast Xfinity representative to express your concern.

I waited for minutes with no answer so I hung up. Also, I'm in a Charter market as the nearest Comcast market is about 80 miles from my location.

I seriously doubt my cable headend would be interested in adding Weatherscan to their lineup in the future.

Charter still hasn't migrated to all-digital here in Pacific County yet    but I imagine they will at some point before the end of this year.

Oh okay. That explains why the weather icons are still the same.

Moving on now, here are snapshot images of two Frontier FiOS Weatherscans, one from Seattle and one from Portland, OR. Both pics were downloaded from SiliconDust last year and have been recently found on my computer.

A new version of my Local Weather ID concept, using the current TWC graphics:



UPDATES:

• The city name has been replaced with the text: The Weather Channel is brought to you by: [insert cable provider here]
• The local weather ID number is smaller.

Banned because I've made a full recovery from this rather quick illness.

Since the traffic conditions have returned to many of the domestic IntelliSTARs, has the product returned to Weatherscan as well?

Not seeing the traffic product on my STAR    probably because I am in a rural area.

I've never seen EAS messages scroll on Windows Media Center before.

I haven't seen the show, but based on what I've been reading here it doesn't sound like a very good show. IMO the only thing that would probably make the show better is if Chris Warren wasn't on it. One of the main reasons why I loathe him: constantly interrupting other people mid-sentence, and it needs to stop.
