"Amazing Grace" by Trammell Starks, from the "Sanctuary" album. It's nice to finally listen to some of Trammell's non-TWC music.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I've hearing just the production music on the LFs today. Does this mean the vocal music is gone?

New IntelliSTAR 2 Junior in Grand Coulee, WA:
This unit replaced a WeatherSTAR 4000 (Omak) which I last saw over 7 years ago.

Apologies for double-posting but I just opened the new IS2 Jr page on my STAR database, which features 4 known units so far. Here's the link:

« on: May 15, 2014, 02:09:10 PM »On my STAR database site I'm currently working on a new page for IS2 Jr units which I hope to have ready by tomorrow. Quick question for anyone who might know just out of curiosity -- for the legacy STARs, wouldn't the STAR ID numbers remain the same as before with the new IS2 Jrs or would it be a different number?I doubt it. Back then, STAR IDs were actually tied to the headend, meaning as a headend went from the I/I/III, to the 4000, and then to the XL, the headend ID # remained the same. Ever since the IntelliStar, the ID number has been tied to the unit itself.
Oh okay that makes sense. When Charter cable in Omak, WA upgraded from a III to a 4000 in '04 the STAR ID remained the same.

If the Dish and DirecTV STARs were to cue the satellite LDL during long-form programming the same way the cable STARs do for the local weather, this is my concept of what that might look like:
Using snapshots from the Dish Weather Channel feed, I basically just cropped out the satellite LDL during live programming and inserted into the blue-grey space that appears during long-form. Not bad, huh?

I'm starting to wonder what will happen once the legacy STAR units are disconnected and decommissioned by the cable headends who still had them. 
Perhaps maybe the headends are going to just throw the units away or even try to sell them to TWC fans?

I myself have been lucky enough to see two 4000s and three XLs in person over the years, but not one Junior sadly. 
A bit sad the legacy STARs are going bye-bye, but all good things in life must eventually come to an end.
