Local Forecast / Re: New Intellistar version?

« on: May 22, 2010, 02:06:51 PM »

well it's been nearly 3 years since the v3 update. The v3 was launched after the 2005 v2 update

Just because its been X years doesn't mean they are going to update it. The Intellistar1 probably saw its last major update with the ldl changes.

But I thought the IS was going to have a graphics change last year or this spring?

It did. The LDL was  the graphics change

Well it should've been more specific...as the majority thought it was the hardware

That's right, according to this article here Google and it's service planned to disable access to anyone under 18 soon because a binding contract has to be formed. Full article here: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13739_3-9902548-46.html

yes i know its from 2008 but kinda scary to see Google doing this if ever..Thoughts?

Are there plans for a new intellistar version to be launched seeing now that the LDL, and icons were updated and the launch of the HD Star soon?

I'll be picking out my new apartment from Saturday into Wednesday in Blacksburg, so I won't be around the forum during this time.  My schedule is going to be wacky in terms of my time here on the forum until I complete the move and settle into my new job, so please send any forum issues or concerns to Martin.  See you all later next week!

Glad to see you slowly getting a busy schedule.

General Weather Chat / Re: My crazy encounter with PA Severe Weather...

« on: May 21, 2010, 03:29:41 PM »

Continuing the thread for another couple of videos that I took, which are arguably better than the prior videos. I moved to another apartment in State College, and the first night I spent, we had thunderstorms. Clear air behind the front allowed me to see a very well-developed thunderhead, lit from behind me and shining up in the heavens by the setting sun. Two parts:

Part I: (lightning visible): Severe Thunderstorm in State College, PA, May 15, 2010 (Part 1 of 2)
Part II (better cut, more closeups, less shaking): Severe Thunderstorm in State College, PA, May 15, 2010 (Part 2 of 2)

Enjoy and share!

Just wondering but it has nothing to do with this topic but why do you have two accounts? This and the Steve-O account?

This was a lame move but oh well it's Dish's idea. BTW, how long do you think this new Weathercast channel will last for?

That sucks, I was hoping for them to go forward with their plans, but now I don't see that happening

I just got Dish HD for my room (had Dish SD before) and I'm am so mad !!! Have you guys seen The Weather Cast? while the graphics and the LDL looks nice, the people are not TWC quality!  ACCUweather looks better!  I say Dish should keep both 

BTW,
after I restarted Dish Weather cast is on 213 and TWC is still on 214,
SO  when is TWC leaving? or did Dish already save it?

Can you get us pics of The Weather Cast? Thanks 

krishi is uploading a video on YT

Does anyone know if the new weather channel on DIsh, plays production or jazzy music?

I hope DirecTV does this. This will teach TWC and NBCU a lesson about their content and how they're actually SUPPOSED to be a weather channel, and not a weather entertainment network.

That sucks, but I hate DIsh Network with a passion so this is just another reason for me to avoid them.


EDIT: Change of thought, I have to concur with some of the reasons that Dish is doing to drop TWC. TWC shows little and little weather coverage by the months so seeing WeatherCast replacing TWC is viable since they're gonna offer 24/7 weather coverage. I hope it's localized and they play smooth jazz
