If anybody lives in Oklahoma, Arizona or Utah and uses the Dish Satellite service, please let me know.

I don't believe that anyone here fits those qualifications. :no: Although, I could be wrong. Also, we are always getting new members.

If you are referring to the DISH Weatherscan, I can't wait to see what it looks like!

Also, can you tell us if there will be a similar service on DirecTV? I've been waiting for something like this to come to DirecTV.

No, I don't think there are any on the forums but i could be wrong. I have Dish, but we don't have the regional weather service yet. I've been looking for TWC fans on YT from those areas with DISH, but found none.

I'm curious to know when Dish will roll this service out for the Philadelphia DMA.

I'll be in Arizona a few more days.

I should mention. The little title bar to the right of the date has only been displaying "Severe Weather Update" for the past few hours.

The title bar has since corrected itself. I'm not sure if it's suppose to only display "Severe Weather Update" when the warning crawl is being displayed. But that seems to be what it does.

That's normal, at least on cable weatherscans.

I do have a suggestion. Is there anyway the cities can be spread out more evenly? Meaning each city gets an equal amount of time to display its local information. Because as you can see by the images I have attached, basically every other segment is for Phoenix.

So, does it just circle through cities in AZ? Are there any products or just cities?

Wow, thanks for providing these pictures. So, it IS weatherscan. I wonder if they'll implement the same technology to it's local on the 8s products eventually.

Yeah pretty much. It does display airport conditions though.

Here's the current sequence of cities and segments:
Phoenix
Tucson
Phoenix
Flagstaff
Airport
Lake Havasu City
Phoenix
Tucson
Phoenix
Tucson
Phoenix
Tucson
Phoenix
Airport

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?

Interesting that the message at the top of the screen is different than other Weatherscans. Cable Weatherscans say "Weatherscan is brought to you by The Weather Channel and [cable co name]."
