IntelliStar 2 Discussion / Re: General IS2 Discussion

« on: November 02, 2014, 12:19:03 PM »

Seeing that almost everyone here now has the IntelliSTAR 2 installed at their cable headends, I'm still amazed that my local headend still has not gotten one. I doubt Charter will get an IS2 within the next year.    I guess they either can't afford to invest in one or they're just not interested in one at this time, who knows? 

That is weird, for all Charter headends down this way have the IS2.

Put Arthur in the Gulf and he would easily blow up to a Cat. 3. That is a NICE looking storm.

I wouldn't exactly call it an outbreak. However, an EF1 did touch down in Garyville, La., in Saint James Parish. Damage was done to the Marathon refinery. No injuries reported.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Dave Schwartz Returns

« on: April 09, 2014, 05:17:22 PM »

I am honestly shocked that TWC allowed Dave to return after how things progressed just before they let him go.  The whole situation seemed irrecoverable to me, but I guess something has drastically changed.

I'm still really curious if TWC bought out Network Weather for a (relatively in TWC's eyes) small amount of money just to silence the competition.

I seriously doubt it.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Charter Communications Discussion

« on: April 09, 2014, 05:02:45 PM »

I can tell you they haven't done that in Washington Parish, either. Heck, they still have major outages whenever strong storms come through the area. St. Tammany Parish, yes, but I don't think all of Tangipahoa Parish is all digital yet.

I don't know if it's another STAR, but the interactive forecast isn't back yet (using the red button).
