When you tune to The Weather Channel a graphic will display for a few seconds telling you to press FiOS TV to access the app.

Wow I like that! Out of curiosity, does this replace the domestic IntelliStars at FiOS headends? :unsure:

We still get the local forecast on the SD Weather Channel.
The HD channel has never had the local forecast on any FiOS systems.
If I'm correct no FiOS system has the IntelliStar 2.

Is the LF still the standard IntelliStar though? :unsure: Or is it just a bunch of overlays like DirecTV

Yes' the SD channel has the standard IntelliStar graphics and local forecast.
The TWC App is an additional service that is a part of the FiOS Interactive TV Widgets.

Even I noticed that the TWC App has been added as well. That's good if I'm watching TWCHD and would like to get my LF w/o relying on the satellite feed.

Oh god I hope it holds up.  The Intellistar for VHO8 is a little more stable, but still wonky.  (Are maps supposed to be green or white?)  I'd love to watch 619 and see local forecasts.

TWC FiOS App
I just switched to Verizon Fios. Is this app still available? Is it only on the HD Channel?
