The live broadcast is pretty decent, IMO. It's different, and upbeat. And I like that. However, the rebroadcast is just stupid.

To me, it seems they have two different dicast points set, with one obviously labeled wrong.

Mike, just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean anything. Like I said, each city was picked individually for each STAR. The cities on the LDL are certainly in the viewing area of the particular STAR in question.

They might not of gotten to it yet, Al. And, before any changes are made, they have to finish adding cities to all the STARs.

The actual HD STAR will be pretty different. This "beta" HD STAR was more to test out the equipment, with less of a focus on the graphics themselves.

FYI... after some checking around, each STAR had the extra two LDL cities added individually. They were not done in a mass-DMA deployment.

« on: July 20, 2009, 10:29:24 PM »Since when did "windy" become a condition on it's own during the current condition screen?That's a rare one. I have one video from a long time ago with just windy as a condition somewhere...
"Currently in our area...97 Degrees with windy conditions"
isn't it usually associated with the sky condition as well?
"Currently in our area...97 Degrees under cloudy skies with windy conditions"

That is perfectly fine. For example, on my FiOS STAR, both Bethel Park and Penn Hills are on the local obs screen, and on the LDL. There's no problem unless there is a duplicate city on the LDL, for example a Downtown location, and then a generic city location without the "downtown" moniker.

Zach, Al, and Raymie, I would create a thread in Tech Support about your cities. Al, it doesn't seem logical that all 3 cities should be on the north side of the viewing area, and the other two have duplicate cities.

After checking on some things, here's what I now know. When the LDL update came in '08, the additional cities were added to only the IntelliStars with the largest viewing areas, as well as all the STARs in the Atlanta and Pittsburgh DMAs. Over time, some more were added (in no order). Now, they are starting to go through and add cities to more and more IntelliStars. Hope that clears things up for some of you.

« on: July 17, 2009, 11:54:03 PM »No, they might just being adding a while bunch now. It has to be done on a STAR-by-STAR basis, unless they deploy the cities by DMA, but that wouldn't make sense, and they're obviously not doing that anyway.Technically, they could. It would be a half-assed job, but they could, They never would do it that way though.So, how were all the IntelliStars able to display three-city LDL's in one day? Were they all added ahead of time, and then all the IntelliStars rebooted this morning?

I think you're missing the point. HiRAD's "guess" isn't wrong - as it almost matches the NWS ob from that site.

If you're not trying to prove it's wrong, then why complain?

If it's never accurate, then HiRAD for Owosso can never be accurate.
And why circle Hastings then?
