Something wierd going on with my weather channel.

[DeerSlayer7600]

On the television I have with the Digital Cable Box hooked up, the bar on the bottom of the screen and the local on the 8s gives me weather information for Utica, NY which is the correct info for where I live, however on the other TVs with just a cable wire going to them the bar on the bottom and local on the 8s gives me weather information for an entirely different area about 10 miles east of me.  Anyone ever experienced this or might know what causes this?  I contacted the cable company through email and they are trying to tell me to unplug my non digital box TVs for 30sec and it will reset.  I don't think that will work though.

I may not be of help, but IMO that's cool! There must be a headend conflict.

So the STAR hooked up to the digital source is different then the one for the analog.

I've seen something like this before. When we had Comcast, a tech came out to replace our downstairs STB. He plugged it in, turned it on and went outside to his van. I turned on TWC, and to my surprise, was seeing STAR #22434 (New Ken/Allegheny Valley,) while all my other TV's showed #22438 (Penn Hills). I turned to Weatherscan and was getting the Allegheny Valley Weatherscan, too. Then he came back in, ran through the diagnostics menu, reprogrammed it, entered a long number, which set it to receive the feed from the Penn Hills headend, and thus, I was seeing the right STAR again. Very interesting!
