Well written.  I think many people (myself included) have experienced that at one time or another.

I think the very slow start combined with the promise of a busy year is what got people confused.  Even I was becoming rather sceptical.  However, the past month or so has been absolutely madcap in the Atlantic, and there's yet another wave coming off the coast of Africa...

cause technology advances practically everyday.

But why should The Weather Channel spend money and resources on developing a new SD Star when standard television has, at least in the opinion of the government, become obsolete?  Even cable/satellite operators aren't going to be required to carry them for much longer (but probably will, at least for the foreseeable future, since HDTV sets are quite expensive).

I'm honestly not sure there will even be a new SD system.  Why bother at this point?

Thanks, but I was wanting a HQ scanned image.

Are you trying to manufacture and sell pirated CDs? 

I may be wrong, but I think he's looking for a high quality scanned image for album art for itunes/ipod...

Have iPod screens become so much more sharper since I bought mine a few years ago that a really high definition picture is needed?  I've used album cover graphics as small as 200 x 200 resolution and they still look good on my iPod.

Maybe it's being upgraded to the IntelliStar 2? ... 

The IS 2 has nothing to do with SD

True.  In that case, maybe it's just a failure of the SD IntelliStar that's just gone unnoticed by the cable company.

I do remember during previous Star upgrades that there was no Star forecast generated for as long as nearly a month (when the Philadelphia area III got upgraded to a 4000 in the early 1990s), so that could certainly be a possibility.

Of course, there weren't any national LDLs or fancy-looking national local forecasts back then... just a scrolling "Travel Cities Forecast" over and over again... the text version.

My grandma just notified me saying that her SD IntelliStar isshowing the Satellite/National LF and that the LDL is also showing the National forecasts and has been going on since early Saturday. This issue also happened around a month and a half ago. If you could fix that, my Grandma and the other thousands of people would be glad.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

In that case, it's not so much the IntelliStar is showing it, as its output is being bypassed/has been discontinued for some reason.

Wait, is the IS 2 out in other places other than Nashville? I'm seeing it right in front of me in Louisiana. I'll get some pics up later.

Great!  I'm eagerly awaiting photos!

I notice today that the Comcast logo on my cable guide has been replaced with an Xfinity logo. Anyone else?

This happened to me about a month ago.

The choice of words, such a lovely affair,
You can feel the expression, it's all right there,
With each word put to pen
The only question's when
You'll have one more poem to share.

(wrote that on the spur of the moment )

Very clever! 

As you can see, I've been writing for a while now...

Wow i love to write at school  just typed this little one now

Time is Money

Is time money?
Can it be funny?

It's all on what you spend,
because then you ask to lend.

Foresight the need of change,
because you might be in the red range.

From your first credit cark and check,
well then what the heck?

Is time money?
It is never meant to be funny.

LOL!  Wonderful!  That's the attitude we should all have about money!
