I don't know what you're trying to say. NWS says it's 68 and partly cloudy in Owosso, and it's 63 and cloudy at Fitch Beach Airport near Hastings.

Technically, they could. It would be a half-assed job, but they could, They never would do it that way though.

It's not for certain STARs. It's just to add it to all STARs would require them to go through each and every one. I think they're adding this to most STARs when they do their periodic review of each individual STAR.

This feature isn't new, it was implemented when the new LDL came out. All the STARs around here have had it since that point:
22420: Downtown Pittsburgh, Beaver Falls, Washington
22434: New Kensington, Oakmont, Gibsonia
22438: Penn Hills, McKeesport
27542: Downtown Pittsburgh, Bethel Park, Penn Hills

Mike's right. They log on almost every day. They're just very busy with the HD STAR.

Billy is right. Usually, the locality that appears while current products are unavailable is where the headend is. However, TWC doesn't have the location of some headends, because the cable co only gives TWC the "name" of the headend. For example, the South Hills headend here doesn't use a location - it uses a name, so when there is an outage, the top of the CC screen reads "S HILLS GROUP/Bthl/Cstl Shn/MLeb/Drmt," which translates to the group of South Hills communities of Bethel Park, Castle Shannon, Mount Lebanon, and Dormont. This happened when Comcast took over Adelphia and consolidated the 4 headends in the South Hills to just one.
As another example, my Verizon headend displays "Pittsburgh VHO11," because that is the headend name (VHO stands for Video Hub Office, and Pittsburgh is Verizon's 11th headend).

Martin is correct. It is the headend's job to notify TWC when it changes the channel number. This is actually a common error. Just notify the STAR Team via the Tech Support forums at TWCC.

If my "bitching" really bothers you that much, ignore it and either change the topic of discussion or stay out of here until someone else does. Your opinion of HiRAD is fine, but I think it is crap, and I know it always will be. Any reason TWC has to cut itself off from the NWS? Try acting more mature than you think I am for once. I may not be helping my case, but you are not the administrator here.
HiRAD, while not perfect, is a VERY neat technology. If you think you can do better, go to college, develop something better, and then get back to me and we'll talk.
You're entitled to you're opinion, but all you do is complain about it. Obviously, it's not perfect, nothing is. I mean, NWS obs aren't always up-to-the minute, are they? No. Some NWS sites don't report 24 hours, do they? No. HiRAD was invented to help areas where NWS sites like this exist, or they are too-far in between, and above all, to be MORE LOCAL. Like I said, it's not perfect, but nothing is. It continually undergoes changes and routine maintenance to make it better. But, complaining about it all the time isn't going to do anything about it.
