WeatherSTAR Tech Support / National Backup Feed stuck old forecast

« on: August 27, 2010, 07:22:42 AM »

Hello STAR Team,

The "emergency feed" national DBS forecast (the one that appears when there is some kind of broadcast, production, or music error) is currently showing old forecast and radar data from this past Tuesday. Not sure if you can do anything directly to remedy the problem; if not, please forward this message to the proper department.

Thanks!

Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2xxx. I forget the exact model number, it's something like 2200 or 2400.

Finally got around to looking at the box, and it's a 2200 series. I don't use it much, but it has some problems; it seems pretty sluggish.

Here's the boot screen, which I caught by accident. I was recording Weatherscan, and I bumped the power cord on the box, and it did a hard reboot. It was stuck on the blue bootscreen for about 5 minutes.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Samantha Mohr

Nah she might be. A lot of the old ocms like Warren Madden and that Mancuso dude (now at accueather) have been freelances like around 2005 before they left. Perhaps Sam will be leaving soon as well? Or is she on at late night?

Samantha does a lot more than you'd think. She's a fill-in, much like Mike Seidel is; whenever someone has off on PM Edition or Weather Center, Samantha, Adam Berg, or Kim Cunningham are on call as the likely fill-ins. Also, Samantha does regular segments from TWC's "Digital Media Center" highlighting weather events that are covered on weather.com.

I think she's a freelance.

What? She's definitely not a freelance meteorologist.

Going to one of the commercial breaks of the Irwin Tools Night Race NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race, ESPN on ABC played "Eminence Front" by The Who.
