So it's just a loss of CC. Not the whole thing freezes??

Well they are both owned by The Weather Company so they may well be.

You know they're not to far of Wunderground logo. I assumed you used that for inspiration.

Sorry for bumping but I think I've just found the source of WN's data.

I think there's a bug in the forums that doesn't embed videos correctly. Could you repost as a link?

So when you say It crashes it just looses the CC report and doesn't reboot?

Local Forecast / Re: IntelliSTAR units to be retired this October...???

Same here, I'm not surprised to hear this. The Allen Jackson narrations must be the last remains of the TWC we all love and NBC must really want to get rid of it . It's going to be interesting to see what the fate of WeatherScan will be, I think they may well get rid of that too seeming as the number of providers carrying it has decreased over the years.

Keep a look out for these units around your cable provider's headend trash cans (is that the word or is it dumpster?)!

You can find it here!

If you're worried about viruses then here is a report : http://bit.ly/1Q2TIHb

Here's some images to prove that that the BoyerSTAR will work in the US too


Current Conditions


A slightly too large radar (Radius needs toning down)


And the forecast... In metric (Sorry :/)

Thanks WeatherStar and Vanmax22,

I plan on adding one more forecast slide to get it up to 36 hours and then I will pause there so I can set up the more boring things like checking that the program can contact wunderground and Yahoo (effectively checking if there's an internet connection) as well as a settings panel so the location you want forecasts to appear for can be changed and change the star unit ID and greeting. After that there may be a public release

- Tweet @weatherchannel if you're seeing this.

...Because we're not quite sure who we're broadcasting too now.

I took a look at Ncam. It's crazy. It just has 2 cameras and an infrared sensor and uses reference points. Effectively it's a hacked Xbox Kinect. It's interesting how they don't appear to be using their own software though
