WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Re: Fios Philadelphia IS 27098 - Map, Timing and Stability Issues

Couple of things to keep in mind:

• The error with the LDL running above the national LOT8s is probably a cuing error on TWC's end. It has happened several times in the past since the IS's debut.
• The IS is nearing 10 years old, so there's probably going to be lag associated with it especially with such animation as that on the alert screen. Skipping was also not uncommon during the IS v2 days either when animated ad corner bugs appeared during the text LF segment due to excessive animation.

Weatherscan Discussion / Re: Weatherscan 2003-2004, 2004-2006, 2006-2007 music playlists download link?

« on: November 22, 2013, 09:28:40 PM »

Unfortunately, the music is production music specifically composed for The Weather Channel to use on Weatherscan, so it's unavailable, thus no download links I'm afraid

These are outdated though and of course they vary by metropolitan area (some areas had marine and tides, which are absent from this guide)

That's awesome! And interesting to see how he composed all the non-Trammell tracks as well over the 4 years or so that the lists actually changed too. IIRC, there were new debuts to the list as late as the 2007 playlist change

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / DirecTV IntelliStar showing internal clock on LDL

« on: November 13, 2013, 02:56:02 PM »

Hello STAR Team,

I'm not sure if y'all are aware of this, but yesterday morning, I noticed on IntelliStar 24131, the national DirecTV IntelliStar, the weather all the time update somehow got pushed to this STAR, and it's displaying the internal clock and is stuck on pacific time.



Is this intentional or not? If not, then please do look into the issue! Thanks!

So, are you saying TWC can't show anything on Satellite?

Dish and Direct TV can use their own Stars to overlay their Stars' output over the national LDL, as in the past.  There's bound to some difficulty at first.

The whole system has had a few hiccups, but has otherwise been pretty successful for a flash-cut at 4:00 this morning, and with, apparently, rather little preparation time.  (The worst blooper I saw was at 5:00 this afternoon when the squeezeback didn't happen and the LDL/sidebar just got switched off after a few minutes.)

Just give it a little time.  Once things get ironed out, you might see some improvements.

I wonder if Dish/Direct even still have their stars, since they pretty much quit being used when the national LDL was introduced, plus I'm not sure either provider ever had an IS2.

DirecTV still has their IntelliStar. The internal clock is being cued in place when the LDLs cue for IntelliStars.
