Local Forecast / STAR Outage Issues... possible Comcast systematic issue?

« on: March 04, 2010, 04:42:03 PM »

Once again, Intellistar 22840 serving the Lansing area along and west of 127 had video feed issues. During the last 20 seconds of the 4:28 PM EST LF, the music became spotty and then stopped. Following the local forecast, a scrambled picture of the satellite local forecast then faded to black. This lasted for a little less than 5 minutes, and then a scrambled video feed once again returned. After about 30 seconds, the video was fine and the LDL cued not much later. I made a post yesterday about how it happened yesterday, and I remember seeing it also happen on 22842 over in Haslett/East Lansing back on Tuesday. Anyone know what could be the cause of this... happening almost exactly the same way, at exactly the same time every day?

Every Thursday and Saturday evening during the spring and summer, Lugnut Stadium downtown would set of Firecrackers for 15 minutes or so. Most every boy and girl are having Moments in Love at my school, feeling that "No Other One" type of feeling.

Hurricane Central / Re: El Nino weakening or ending at the start of hurricane season?

Well what's interesting is that with the last El Nino, it did weaken mid-winter in January 2007. We then ended up having a La Nina come the 2007-2008 winter. 2007 was no more active than 2009 (in the sense that there were not a lot of strong US landfalls), even though it did have a few more storms.

Local Forecast / Re: When is the new playlist going to begin

« on: March 04, 2010, 03:35:31 PM »

I'm with most users here in the sense that I usually only upload clips of local forecasts that have some significance to them (during a big snowstorm, an LF with a specific crawl or CC guess, etc). My problem with the length of these lists is that I end up having to upload multiple clips of the same song. There was nothing wrong with monthly lists... it's good to have change sometimes. I always liked hearing new songs each month. As long as I have a chance to catch clips of the songs I like, it's all good.

lol like I've said, I've become totally different these last few months. I listen to plenty of other stuff besides TWC jazz all the time. And one of the songs I heard on WUWA was one of my favorite non-TWC songs. Only I'm not really sure at what time this WUWA playlist runs..

Yeah, these past couple of years, I've learned to listen to almost anything. That's why I don't usually hate a song that airs on the local forecast unless it really is bad.

Does WUWA have a set playlist, or is it a different song each time?

They have a set of songs that play each day (i.e. the song that plays at 6:48 AM ET also airs at 10:48 AM ET that morning), which change from day to day. It's been like this since the week of Labor Day, IIRC.

For whatever reason, the audio went silent for SD viewers in the middle of the 4:28 PM EST local forecast... and following the LF, 5 minutes of black. It took another minute for the blue LDL to come back on. After this, nothing else happened. Strangely, the HD feed was fine. I wonder if this could be related in any way...

lol I didn't know how it started, I just thought maybe it could be moved out to a separate game, since I don't think that this chain thing is the only thing people have to say, in my pants.

Nevertheless, I have been Turning Pages in my review for the Michigan Merit Exam coming up next week. Interesting to see a forum site a freshman at my school set up contradicts the thought that he was Better Than Myself hehe, imp

Now that I have channel 245, Living in High Definition is pretty sweet! The Best of Times for me was certainly when the local forecast had much more consistency though. In South Haven, I saw heavy snow Once and Again, and Truth, Simplicity, and Love remind me of the Shakespearean era, in my pants.

BTW, I think this could be a separate new game hehe, in my pants

Snapshot courtesy of Molly (taken by me, but from a video she sent me).

What's funny is that I actually saw that same thing when the Intellistar cued a few seconds late at 6:18 AM EST this morning.

Yeah, sounds like a Tortilla Flat would fill the Storm Chasers' hunger. I'll tell ya though, I like to Rock It and Oscillate Wildly. First however, I need to take a January Stroll, even in March, in my pants.

Nah, the Terminal Frost at Capital Region Int'l has to be thawed first. Said feathers cause such a Rappongi Panic, that the Crimean II War (history lesson ) was lost underneath the Texas Moon.
