I just got off the phone with Cox. She submitted the problem and before I even got off the phone with her she said they wrote her back and will reset the IntelliStar and look into the constant freezing problem. Weatherscan is now off air so they must be resetting it.

You always beat me too it when I come to report a problem!  As of right now (11:38AM) it is running...but none of the local forecasts for the three cities we have are showing up.

Our Weatherscan in Topeka "skips" (basically freezes for a second) often. It completely freezes all the time, tho. It's been frozen since 10:40PM. It's now 1:22AM. This has been happening since the day we got it on May 19th.

Agreed, and it is now an hour later (2:06AM) and it is still froze, showing the time as being 10:41:00...

I have a plain jane Motorola DCH-100.  I used to have a big black box with orange numbers on the front...but that thing was so old.  It would get hot a lot, the colors would change to black and white occasionally and it was so slow so Cox let me trade it in for a new box  .

Anyone know if there is any possibility of a Star coming to U-Verse.

Did you not read this entire thread? Nothing's changed.

Actually I did and I mostly heard about how TWC's local forecast is mainly pointless except for us...and nothing about if there was any possibility of U-Verse getting a star.  Don't Dish and DirecTV have some form of localized forecasts now?  I didn't know if U-Verse could possibly get something like that.

Actually now the travel weather and regional forecasts work, but the Allergies Segment don't

After contacting Cox & TWC in various ways many times it seems it's working tonight. Maps seem to be loaded in. Yay!

I am going to have to see! I sent Cox a email a few days ago and got one this morning stating there were "issues" over the "weekend" and it had been "fixed"...well I looked on there this morning and it had not been fixed...so I kindly reminded them about it. 

**Just as I was typing that...it froze and restarted...I couldn't find my camera in time but I managed to get video on my camcorder (which don't like taking video of TVs very well)...will post in another fourm soon.

**TWC Star Team...if you fixed this issue...Thanks!  If not...well it's been fixed.  Thanks again though for the city correction!

Wow, can't believe there are intellistars in the 30000's now!

Is the ID # the #Weatherscan it is to be produced or something?

Well that bites about knowing the ID.  Oh well I guess.

Topeka Weatherscan ID for Cox Communications channel 270 is 031067.

How do you know...did you see the start up screen?  Thanks though!

Sorry, Martin.  But The star team did not say anything about fixing the other stuff so I didn't know if they forgot about it or what.  And like I previously said, it has been at least a few weeks since the weatherstar has been up and running, surely that is enough time for products to start working?  For the radar issue, I don't see how it works on some cities and not others.  Anywho Sorry again Martin and Thanks star team for my numerous complaints.  I am, however, very glad to finally have Weatherscan.

On a side note...a Storm Watch was Just issued...time to see how weatherscan reacts to this!!

« on: May 30, 2010, 04:05:22 AM »

Sorry Star Team for my constant complaints but my weatherscan unit out of Topeka, KS is still showing "Unavailable" on numerous products.  Some of which include...
Under the "Garden" section:
- Estimated Precip
- Precip Forecast
- Palmer Drought Severity

Under the "Travel" section:
- Travel Weather
- Day Forecasts

Also the Radars under the "Radar Section" as well as the Radar for the "Topeka" section...and sometimes the Manhattan & Junction City sections...but sometimes it works for those cities.

The weather has calmed down across the state with clear to partly cloudy skies, and highs reaching the mid to upper 80s.  A chance of Thunderstorms comes tomorrows with highs only reaching the lower to mid 80s.
