Complaints? Surprised they even took action with a request like that

It obviously depends on who complains about it... they don't listen to FB/Twitter complaints but moreso on what they receive over the phone.

Wrong. They listen to complaints via social media more than emails and phone calls.

There were complaints about the border.

TWC Today News / Re: Site News

Because TWC has updated all the Comcast logos in it's database to the Xfinity logo, I have made that change in the forum profile field for your STAR information.

Edit: Since I edited a field that was already populated, anyone who has Comcast must go in and select Xfinity as their provider, or your cable provider will appear blank. Sorry for the inconvenience, I thought it would just automatically make the change in your profiles. Guess not.

Comcast Weatherscans had their logos changed around here this morning to the Xfinity logo. Looks kind of bad in all red in my opinion. Would look better in white like the Comcast logo.

Hmm, I've never seen a weather bulletin written this way on the IntelliStar before...

The weather bulletin product takes it's information directly from the zone forecasts the NWS puts out, which is why there is no consistency to how the bulletins are formatted.

That is probably because Getaways are programmed based on DMA, and Williamsburg is in the Hampton Roads DMA.

Anyone have a guess on how long it will take to get this up to Milwaukee WI? How many miles does weatherscan cover at one time? I'm in Brookfield but, I'm guessing I'll be in the milwaukee area on weatherscan???

What channel are you seeing weatherscan on? HD?
 
Also, does Dish have music or NWS on weatherscan?

It is being tested in three states right now. No word on when other parts of the country will be getting it. For now, they cover several DMAs on one unit. There is no HD, and the music is Weatherscan music.

Interesting that the message at the top of the screen is different than other Weatherscans. Cable Weatherscans say "Weatherscan is brought to you by The Weather Channel and [cable co name]."

I should mention. The little title bar to the right of the date has only been displaying "Severe Weather Update" for the past few hours.

The title bar has since corrected itself. I'm not sure if it's suppose to only display "Severe Weather Update" when the warning crawl is being displayed. But that seems to be what it does.

Can you get any pics or videos?

Programming and Graphics / Re: Studio Upgrade/Revamp

« on: July 03, 2011, 02:26:19 AM »

If there is a graphics change, what I love would love to see from it is TWC letterboxing all their programming on the SD feed like CNN. I highly doubt it's going to happen, but hey, we can dream.

They are scheduled to to this sometime this year, but I have confirmed it won't happen with the studio changes.

I hope. Depending on their camera angle, sometimes it's hard to see that TV behind Cantore, Forbes, Parker, etc.
