Care to reveal the source? We're familiar with a great many sources of info and can probably confirm or deny that rumor based solely on the source.

I heard it from wikipedia and since that site has no reputation it propably is not true.  :(

It's possible that could be correct, but I wouldn't get my hopes up too much. YOu never know who put that there.

I wouldn't rule that out, but yes, I wouldn't rely on Wikipedia to be your breaking news source.

As far as this issue itself about a new WeatherSTAR, I do wonder if one that's to be a local HD one would coincide with an SD update. But we'll see.
Tyler had pointed out that there wouldn't be a new SD STAR around the TWC HD launch anyway.

He wants to deploy the new STAR units next year. “There may be some relevant systems that launch before we complete the manufacture of the STAR unit,” he says, “but we want that time frame to be really short.”

From the bottom of http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6417902.html?display=Special+Report

Is he talking 2009?

The article was written 2/19/2007, so that would mean this year. :yes:

Wow, I missed the 2007 part as well. That sounded like a lot of foresight for 2007.
