WeatherSTAR Tech Support / STAR 006942 Channel, Regional Obs issues

« on: July 05, 2011, 07:56:44 PM »

If this STAR is no longer supported, please let me know or ignore this post.
Weatherstar 4000 ID#006942 is not on the correct channel (Channel 12 is current TWC channel) and the regional observations have Tallahassee and Jacksonville colliding with each other on the map. Can this be changed? To my knowledge, this STAR is running and has been for about a month.

Cable Headend: Troy Cable in Troy/Ozark, AL.

General Discussion / Emulator Programming and More (Questions) in one Post

« on: July 05, 2011, 07:47:37 PM »

So, I have several questions I would like to post here.

• How do you program an emulator? What is the best program to use to work the emulator (ex., Microsoft VB, etc.), what is the best (XML?) feed to get info from?
• Are there any images such as the IS2 animated current/forecast graphics available to the public (for download) at the moment?

Any answers are appreciated! Thank you!!!

General Discussion / SKYWARNAL being Examined by the NWS

« on: May 05, 2011, 08:28:11 AM »

I received a tweet this morning on the SKYWARNAL Storm Center's wall.

@skywarnal @skywarnalsc Please know that you are imitating a government supported EMERGENCY ENTITY. I will be in contact with authorities.

I just got off the phone with the NWS in Tallahassee, they said that they would take a look at everything and would give me a straight-forward answer on whether it is illegal or not. As long as I am not imitating the NWS, SPC, NHC, or NOAA (their)selves, I should be fine.

See for yourselves at www.skywarnal.com and www.twitter.com/skywarnal.

General Discussion / Brace yourself for braces

« on: April 13, 2011, 08:22:44 AM »

Yes, the face of SKYWARNAL Live and SKYWARNAL News Now is getting braces. I love it but I hate it. I need some peoples opinions.
1. DO they hurt, especially the first week?
2. HOW do they feel when you have them on (before you get used to them)?
3. ANY other tips?
Thanks

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Weatherstar XLv3 (Unknown STAR ID) Issues, possible upgrade?

« on: January 27, 2011, 05:23:38 PM »

STAR ID: Unknown, hasn't been displayed in at least a year (ID Screen shows a dot)
Location: Ozark, AL
Provider: Cobridge/Charter
Date: 1/27/11

So, here is the issue. As you've read, my STAR ID doesn't display. The vocal local messages are being changed to lengthier narrations (like used in the Intellistar), and just a moment ago, I discovered that we're being broadcasted under a national forecast, not a local. Is this possibly a defective unit, or maybe the unit is being upgraded or replaced? Perhaps with the Intellistar 2 or IS2A?

Emulator Videos / My PPT Emulator of the Intellistar 2

« on: January 05, 2011, 04:57:37 PM »

Not exactly the best (or the same) as the Intellistar 2, but I could not find an icon pack or anything for the IS2, I guess since it is so new. If anybody could give me some tips and pointers, please do so!

Please message me if you would like to be a beta tester.

Local Forecast / WeatherSTAR XL3 Tornado Watch Scroll and Local Forecast

« on: January 02, 2011, 10:36:46 AM »

Yesterday, I took this video of the local forecast and Tornado Watch scroll on the WeatherSTAR XL3 in Ozark. I have a few different things after the local forecast, such as the rain, radar, NWS page, and SPC.
