Wow, mine didn't last that long. It lasted only 1 LF. I wonder if anyone here has been lucky enough to be switched to a neighboring XL, 4000, or jr while their intellistar was repaired.Unless they don't have TrafficPulse, I highly doubt it.
I've had a similar situation in late 2005 when I saw the forecast for Flower Mound-Lewisville (#22110). Luckily, it only lasted a week as my area's former IntelliStar (#22107) was being repaired.It was really early in the morning, and I don't really pay attention to the IDs. But IIRC, the CC city was the same (Santa Cruz), just the 8 city list and the radar were different. But I do recall seeing a slightly different intellistar similar to this one while at a nearby hotel less than a mile away, so maybe you're right. This is the first time I've ever seen this happen.I noticed the strangest thing today. I was watching my intellistar this morning, and the radar was shifted a little more to the southwest with some different cities, and the cities on the 8-city observation list were also different. But then during the next LF, it reverted back to the normal configuration. I wonder what happened...Your cable company might've switched to a back-up IntelliStar until your normal one is fixed. Did you get the Local WX ID's?

i, for one, am fed up with the bullshit going around in the broadcasting industry.That's what I'm saying. The cable companies should continue to make agreements in writing and let us live our lives without worrying about carrage disputes.
its down right ridiculous
Thats great news! They get to have WFAA again! But what about the other two stations? Still no luck?The agreement goes for all Belo-owned stations. Had they notmade an agreement, not only will they lose the Belo stations, but also the state news networks (e.g. TXCN) as well. Thank goodness the Charter customers didn't have to suffer through that.
It seams like people keep going in/out of agreements right before the deadline.Seems like it. Look at Dish Network back in 2004 before the CBS/Viacom split: When Dish had a dispute with them, their customers temporary lost all local CBS and UPN Stations as well as Showtime, The Movie Channel, Nickelodeon/Nick-At-Nite, MTV, VH1, BET, and all other networks owned by that company. In other words, kids were left high and dry without Spongebob Squarepants.
