This was due to a glitch on the DIX radar.

Comcast has apparently dropped Weatherscan in many markets recently. When I did a Google search not too long ago I saw there were a lot of angry and upset customers posting about it Xfinity's Facebook page.

It's mostly on the intermountain and west coast regions from what I'm hearing. Ratings, although generally are only mediocre at best anywhere, are especially worse out there. So it doesn't surprise me.

They seriously keep track of ratings for channels like Weatherscan? What's the point?  It's not like it's expected that people are just sitting there looking at it for hours on end.

I guess if the backlash from customers continues Comcast will soon regret their decision and re-add Wxcscan back to the lineups    but I doubt it.

Since the traffic conditions have returned to many of the domestic IntelliSTARs, has the product returned to Weatherscan as well?

No. Don't count on it, either. Remember, development on Weatherscan has been stopped indefinitely for years.

Oh okay. That explains why the weather icons are still the same.

Moving on now, here are snapshot images of two Frontier FiOS Weatherscans, one from Seattle and one from Portland, OR. Both pics were downloaded from SiliconDust last year and have been recently found on my computer.

Did anybody with a Weatherscan see any DST glitches last night?

Sorry for double posting BTW.

Crap. I'm usually the one on the lookout for those but I went to bed "early" last night and forgot to set the DVR.

FPB has posted a notice explaining that our Weatherscan unit will be out for a few days, with repairs coming next week. They say they'll be running a simulcast of The Weather Channel complete with LOT8s until it's fixed, but I think they'll just stick with the national feed.

EDIT: Took about 5 days but they finally started simulcasting the SD Intellistar feed on 19 until WS is fixed. One problem though, they're simulcasting TWC SD on the HD feed too. So channel 19, 49 and 549 are showing the exact. same. thing.
