For anyone with satellite, is there a reason why Washington, DC has been left out for the cities listed under "Today's Forecast" (especially when it shows the Northeast region's map)? It just makes no sense to leave out the forecast for the nation's capital. :blink:

I have a few problems with the maps/forecasts.

First of all, there is PLENTY of room to put Memphis on that map. The Southeast one or the Midwest one.

Memphis, TN is almost 2x larger than Jackson, MS; yet, not only is Jackson on the map, they are also on the forecast.

You would think that it would almost only have sense to have the exact same cities on the map as on the forecast. I noticed that Charleston, West Virginia is included on the forecast but not on the map for the NE, and then Charleston, South Carolina is included on the map and forecast on the next screen for the SE. That may get confusing, since there are no states labeled.

It seems the local radar bug is fixed for my star unit.
Now it shows

They need to stop using this layout for the person a the expert desk.

It's not necessary to have them on screen with the maps and  the maps are way to small.

I think that's where Los Angeles is listed. Mike is right about LA being in the SE map, Memphis fits in alphabetical order on the list, so it's likely they left out Memphis and put in LA for some peculiar reason.

They needed to be consistent and list every city that was marked on the map (and vice versa).  There's some cities which are marked on the map and not listed (like Bismarck and Washington, DC), and there's some cities which are listed but not marked on the map (like Jacksonville, Birmingham, and Oklahoma City).

So I tuned in to TWC And I saw The Intellistar had no CC Report and the Doppler radar was missing, so I tuned in to TWC HD And saw that the Intellistar 2 skipped the CC page and Doppler radar! I'm confused. HiRAD Outage Maybe? :hmm:

In addition, Weatherscan units have been intermittently rebooting. Some sort of data issue to be sure.

Forgot to mention, I saw A Black screen with the words "No Video Input" with a countdown clock and a brief view of a WeatherStar XL CC Screen. I am really Confused! I need to sit down.

Just checked Weatherscan on FiOS and noticed the current conditions for all cities is "no report" and the radar is "Temporarily Unavailable". It just rebooted and is showing TWC SD feed.


On TWC SD I noticed the LDL just giving local forecasts and never shows current conditions.
It also says "A wind advisory is in effect until 6pm this evening." That's 3 hours outdated.
