IS 24629 Change Requests
« on: May 21, 2012, 04:51:22 PM »
Hi STAR Team,

I am not too sure if you can make these changes, but:

Is it alright if you can zoom in 24629's metro map slightly and include the cities of Brandon and Plant City? This STAR serves the whole county and the weather can be significantly different between the city of Tampa and the eastern Hillsborough County suburbs (such as Brandon, Plant City, Dover, Seffner, Mango, etc), such as in the winter time when lows are about 5-10 degrees cooler in the suburbs than in the city.

Also, because the STAR serves the whole county and not just Tampa itself, could the forecast title be changed to "Hillsborough County"? The other STARs on the same cable system in the surrounding counties have their forecast titles as the county name. :yes:

Thanks for any consideration.


P.S. -- Patrick (phw115wvwx) approved this request :thumbsup:

The STAR Team hasn't been here in over a month..not to keep your hopes down or anything. Hopefully they acknowledge this request when they do come on though.

Your point being? I have seen numerous occasions where the STAR team hasnt been active yet users still report changes to their STARs. ;)

I try to check in everyday if I have a chance but I'm just not logged-in usually.  I created a zoomed Tampa metro map, see if that is more to your liking.  I'm going to leave it "Tampa" for now, the area served we have from Brighthouse shows all the popluation for this star in Tampa, MacDill, Mango, Brandon area which seems just metro tpa.

I wasn't able to check out the STAR on my lunch break today, but I will hopefully be able to confirm the changes tomorrow! Thanks for the help! :)

I saw the new map today, and I like it! In addition, I also like the additions of Lutz and Palm Harbor as well! Once again, thanks so much STAR team! :happy: :thumbsup:
