Local Forecast / Update?

« on: January 05, 2009, 03:35:13 PM »

I don't know about anyone else, but my star has been messing up alot lately. LOT8's over commercials and satellite forecasts coming for lot8's. Errors on my star only happen when a update is coming. It's been true every time and I think this time. Today, it is working again. The Current conditions narration has been removed from my star and it just looks like its a higher quality picture today. Anyone else?

Sry to take so long to get back to you guys. I called. Wasted no time giving my star id and explaining the problem. He said its probably a hardware issue and then asked what company I work for. I said I didn't and he was like "?" He actually said I sounded professional and thought I worked for a company cause I wasted no time giving my id and giving the problem...unlike normal viewers who apparently "take forever to get to the point". So yeah they said they will call the headend provide them with the info and gave me a case id: 037011 for anyone who cares. So as long as you don't piss around the issue and get to the point you can pretty much just press 1 for headends.

I've tried calling but no one ever picks up. Should I press 1 which is for headends?

Local ID: 26781 (Verizon-Baltimore)

A couple days ago I noticed that the intellistar was 4 seconds off from everything else. Not just the local forecast (even though I always see the first 4 sec of the sat forecast) but the local ad packages, such as the transitions commercial that tells you what the UV index is. First I see the country's UV index with the lady talking. Then I see my local one as the next commercial is starting. But now today, there's no music in the forecasts. All I hear is Alan Jackson telling me what the weather is like. Is this happening to anyone else?

EDIT: AHH Tramel Sighting. They just started playing his music.

EDIT (again): The Star is even farther off by about 6 sec now as I can see the second slide of the sat forecast.

Local Forecast / New LDL weather warnings the same

« on: June 04, 2008, 03:06:25 PM »

I live in Maryland and we got HUGE storms coming. But that's not why I'm sad. The LDL for severe weather hasn't changed. In fact it seems to have gone back in time. If I'm correct, The old way the IS would tell you about alerts is "BEEP BEEP BEEP 'A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for our area' BEEP BEEP BEEP". The new way was that it just did 5 beeps. But it just did the old way with a narration for the LDL. So I'm sad to not see new graphics but am happy to see the old noises. 

BTW a little off topic but what does it mean when I just see a crap load of 4 digit numbers in the warning?

A local Sleepy's commercial just came on. No audio. It's rolling local promos.

EDIT: Full force nature is back on with audio...looks like that crisis ended early.
