One more suggestion. And I probably shouldn't double post again but, is there anyway the text on this frame can be changed to simply "Arizona" or could each city get its own dedicated frame?

I seriously doubt that is possible. I know for a fact that Flagstaff's weather is totally different from Phoenix and Tuscon because of elevation alone. Even Phoenix's and Tuscon's weather varies from time to time, especially in winter.

Anyone have a guess on how long it will take to get this up to Milwaukee WI? How many miles does weatherscan cover at one time? I'm in Brookfield but, I'm guessing I'll be in the milwaukee area on weatherscan???

What channel are you seeing weatherscan on? HD?
 
Also, does Dish have music or NWS on weatherscan?

It is being tested in three states right now. No word on when other parts of the country will be getting it. For now, they cover several DMAs on one unit. There is no HD, and the music is Weatherscan music.

Wow, this service has already proved itself to be incredibly useful. It informed me of a severe thunderstorm shortly before getting blasted by one. Lovely. However, it would be nice if it specified which region the warning had been issued for in the warning crawl's title bar. To prevent confusion.

I also find it strange that your particular unit has Phoenix as its city for the station ID and two-minute forecast, but the L-bar city is Tucson. Also are the Phoenix and Tucson segments supposed to display more often than the Flagstaff segment?

The L-bar loops through all 4 cities, but Phoenix and Tucson are displayed more often. Like it'll display Flagstaff, then run through Phoenix and Tucson before displaying Lake Havasu City. It seems to follow the same pattern as the main video thing.

Disproportion of cities displayed (i.e. Phoenix) was specifically requested by Dish.

I have two questions about the Dish Weatherscan:

One: Is Weatherscan available for Dish subscribers who live in rural areas? For example, let's say I lived in Arizona in a rural area between Phoenix and Tucson and I have Dish. Do I get Weatherscan there?

Two: Anyone have any idea when Weatherscan will be available to Dish subscribers in the NW, like Seattle and/or Spokane? Someday I want to record the Dish Weatherscan from a friend's house and put a clip on YT.

1. Yes. It's available for the entire states of Arizona, Oklahoma, and Utah

2. I don't think that they are 100% sure that they know. It could be months before it is rolled out to even a few more states.
