I noticed another weird thing about some Weatherscans. I noticed that some Weatherscans the airport segments are displayed as "AIRPORT" and others say "AIRPORTS." Also, for the radar segment some display "YOUR LOCAL RADAR," others show "[NAME OF CITY] RADAR" and also simply "RADAR." Any reason why?

Has anyone seen a Weatherscan unit that covered three airports on the airport segment?

It all depends on who's programming it, and what their preference is. Just like on the domestic Istar, it all depends on the preference of the person programming it to decide the moniker they use (Downtown, Metro, Area, Metro Area, Greater [city], etc).

Wow, your weatherscan has a lot of city forecast packages! Both of mine only have 2-3.

I e-mailed my Cable company about adding extra segments and here is what he said:

Quote
I appreciate your email.  Unfortunately we will not offer that level of
service on Weatherscan.  We have tested this service on several
occasions and have typically been met with negative response.  The
majority of our customers say they want current conditions and radar as
quickly as possible meaning the need to do away with the "lifestyle"
packages that slow the rotation down.

Thanks again for your email.

Exactly. If it were up to me, Weatherscan would be just current conditions, radar, and a forecast. :yes:

My thing is that they can see the cc, radar and forecast on the sides of the screen.

Which IMO should be ditched. :yes:

I don't mind a few segments on Weatherscan (I find the non-seasonal ones useful), just not nine segments like there is on mine now.
