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?

TWC and your Cable Company / No Music on Star and Star's Timing is off.

« on: August 27, 2008, 05:26:25 PM »

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?

And it begins. Beautiful effects, crisper picture, delivering the weather like we've never seen it before. Discuss the new HD studios.

Edit: Sorry I just realized I put this in the wrong section. When a mod gets a chance, could they move it? thanks.
