$3.75 here, but cross the border and drive a few miles into Maryland, and it's $3.59. Taxes...

Today, I noticed that the NWS is now using ESRI maps on forecast pages, as opposed to Google Maps.

Just to add to this, my county is currently under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning, and my IntelliStar is still making the alert tone.

It's the second track from Trammell Starks' first Local Forecast CD. This track, like Starks' other 39 Local Forecast music tracks doesn't have an official title.

TWC and your Cable Company / Comcast to buy Time Warner Cable
« on: February 12, 2014, 11:27:49 PM »
According to CNBC (a Comcast property, incidentally), Comcast is about to finalize a deal to buy Time Warner Cable for $44.2 billion.

Really hope the FCC/FTC blocks this. One less cable company and less competition is never a good thing.

Does this mean we can call the original IntelliStar the "IntelliStar Sr?"

Not sure what to think of this. Like others have mentioned, it looks like an old IS2 but with SD graphics. Something tells me it might be an IS2 but with slightly different hardware and software (maybe a cut-down version without the ability to output HD). If that's the case, it is something TWC has probably been working on for a while because it doesn't have the "metro" graphics update yet. Too bad, we don't have longer flavors anymore to see other forecast products.
One thing that I noticed in the first video is the lack of an LDL during national programming. Is this still running off the analog satellites that the legacy STARS were running on?
