So it wasn't the video card...

By any chance, does this happen within a second (like a flash) or  does it happen longer than a second because this happened to my IS2 within a second. 

Nice to hear it's not an isolated incident, it happens a split second.

Test 2

This seems to be the exact same thing that happened with my IS2 when it actually worked.

General Discussion / Re: I should update my profile, but I don't want to

« on: August 14, 2014, 01:48:59 PM »

I was just looking over my forum profile and I saw that I still have the IntelliStar number listed.  My cable company duplicated the HD feed on the SD channel several months ago (has it been almost a year?), and yet I never got round to taking the old information off my profile.  We don't have an SD Star anymore, but, in a way, I suppose I don't want to remove the number... as if it's a historical record.

I was thinking of doing something like that after Time Warner Cable changes all our channel Numbers, but in your case I think you should just keep the number, to remember your former STAR.

Cool! I have a Space gray iPhone 5s from T-Mobile as well. I kinda don't like how inconsistent Using Touch ID is.

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / IS2 Radar Glitch?

« on: August 06, 2014, 03:44:12 PM »

Not sure why, but my IS2 HD's Radar basemap went from white to completely blue? Not sure on the Star ID, but it might be a glitch.

Local Forecast / Re: General LF Discussion

« on: July 28, 2014, 07:24:04 AM »

Anyone notice that the forecast boxes are TOO transparent on the IntelliStar? IIRC, the transparency was as dark as the box for the city name and time above the Forecast boxes.

Was the camera taken upside-down? I've never seen an IntelliStar error like that before! 

OMG! I guess my iPad screwed up the picture...  Well, this is embarrassing!
EDIT: Actually, if you click on the picture, it will flip the picture correctly.

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Re: No Star on ATT Uverse?

« on: July 20, 2014, 10:29:39 AM »

Wow, I didn't even know this was the case today. I never switched over to UVerse, but honestly today I wouldn't mind since the LFs are so horrendous and hardly ever air to be of any real use. I think they only air twice an hour, which is useless for me since I could just check my phone and I'll be on my way. If they still aired on the 8s... every 8... I'd watch it. For this reason, I just use the XL.

How this was explained to me way back then was that AT&T makes little to no money on their UVerse service... which I find to be a load of horse crap. If I remember correctly, I was also told that the STARs were "incompatible" with the way their service operated. Makes no sense to me since you just stick a computer (the STAR) between the satellite reciever/digicipher and the modulator/amplifiers. That was the excuse that I got.

Bottom line... you're not missing out on much. Just the horrible reality shows with little to no weather coverage (at least when I tune in... maybe I just have a bad sense of timing or something).

EDIT: Wasn't the relaunch last November specifically meant for the forecasts to launch on every :8? It seemed like that was the case for a month then they started pulling the longform stuff again.

The Locals do cue on every :8 of the hour during WUWA, AMHQ, WCL but don't cue every :8 of the hour during reality programming. The Weather all the time update was pretty much for the LDL being on during commercials (except locally played commercials ) and reality tv shows. That was all the Update was for.

I notice that TWC has better coverage for the typhoon in the WPac than Hurricane Arthur that actually made landfall in the US.

How so?

They seem to care MUCH more.

Are you sure, IIRC they just kept talking about Arthur on every show, and even made the Lower thirds show Arthur on the radar, and didn't show anything else but Arthur, unless severe weather was happening.
