So I was watching Cold Case on TNT, and this popped up:
Not too crazy about it, but I knew it was going to happen here in the E.L. and Haslett this year. All channels are already digital (and thus require a cable box for all TVs and TV tuners) in Lansing.
They probably could if they wanted to, as it is an Intellistar unit but TWC is more like an emergency feed for Weatherscan, always the satellite feed of TWC. Usually the TWC feed during a time when the unit is rebooting has very low volume of audio and sometimes the video feed would be of higher brightness and/or contrast. Mike might be able to clarify since he is the resident Weatherscan expert.Our Weatherscan was just rebroadcasting TWC all day.....so we had 3 TWC channels, HD, SD, and WxScan SD.
That's odd, I didn't know they were capable of overriding Weatherscan's feed with TWC's feed.
kinda like how, my Intellistar is 23273, but how Weatherscan is 20271, meaning when Weatherscan Intellistar was introduced we still had an XL.Basically, the ID number for any IntelliStar (including the Weatherscan IntelliStar) can be used to show an approximate age of the unit. Units from 2003 (which is when the IS was first introduced) are down in the low 20000s. The ID numbers generally increase with each unit that is rolled out. New units are now in the low 30000s, which basically infers that about 10,000 IntelliStar (and Weatherscan IntelliStar) units have been added in the past seven years.Wow, can't believe there are intellistars in the 30000's now!Is the ID # the #Weatherscan it is to be produced or something?
We have about 7 left, normal day's (reviewing for finals) except Thursday, that's field day (what's bad is that there's a 60% chance of rain that day). Then on Monday, Finals for odd numbered periods, and Tuesday, the one's for the even numbered periods, then Wednesday, We have to sit in those hard bleachers for 2 hours for 8th grade graduation, then our respective grade's award programs (small), at least, there's a movie at lunch on the School's closed circuit channel!Now that the year is almost over, half of the school days is full of movies!Yeah. I only have gee... One week and a few days leftTommorow I turn in some textbooks, and such. Can't wait to be out of school!
I don't believe so, unless i'm wrongHow do you guys find out the Local ID for your weatherscan?The ID in on the Weatherscan boot screen.
Any ways that are visible more often than the once-in-a-blue-moon boot screen?
A new Weatherscan feed is expected to be launched in 2010 for Dish Network subscribers, to replace The Weather Cast service that had been founded as a replacement for The Weather Channel as a result of a carriage dispute.
(which would be on channel 532) . Also They will add NFL Network (and it's PPV spinoff, NFL RedZone) and Big Ten Network, the board has yet to approve adding those in HD though.
Trevor, I don't see the fail.But with DirecTV, you actually have a local weather app that cues as the LOT8s so you DO get a forecast.
Well, I wouldn't be surprised if DirecTV did the same thing.
