Weatherscan Topic

I searched and saw nothing so I started it

My weatherscan added

1. Travel
2. Airport
3. Golf
4. Health
5. Garden

This is not the first time we have had the travel forecast, we had it in July 2005 for 2 weeks and then it disappeared

I miss the days when my Weatherscan displayed only the local forecast.

I miss the days when my Weatherscan displayed only the local forecast.

Though, that was never Weatherscan's intention... Weatherscan was built around "Weather & Your Lifestyle," therefore, showing segments like golf, garden, boating, health, etc.

[Mike M]

All Weatherscans used to only show a two minute local forecast back to back when it came out in 1999. That changed in 2001 when it was graphically redesigned and most areas started showing different packages (aviation, gardening, etc).

I don't recall seeing any of that with the Xl version of WeatherScan. I don't recall seeing that stuff until it was upgraded to the INtelliSTAR version.

For me that was 5 days ago

There were still several XL units that only display the local forecast product, including mine.

[Tyler]

My XL had Airport, Health, and Golf.

IIRC, it's the cable headend's choice what segments to have there. I guess FPB requested them to be removed.

[Tyler]

I think the whole cable headend option thing is BS. Everyone should have all applicable packages.

Some headends like to use all the bells & whistles, others go the KISS route. Choice in this case isn't a bad thing.
