Not to step on Tyler's toes (heh), I have a friend in Glassport, PA who says that his headends IntelliStar would report for Penn Hills, PA. He told me after the updates, his IntelliStar stopped displaying an LDL and the locals. So essentially all he sees is the national feed.

IntelliStar SD
Penn Hills (or Glassport?), PA
Comcast - Channel 16

Tyler, if you know much could you lemme know? I know your on FiOS so I don't expect you to know much about it on Comcast.

i came across something odd

i have a tv tuner that lets me tune on multiple tvs, so using that i tuned to the weather channel in hd on 1 tv, and the weather channel's SD FEED on the other (both have updated system).. both LOT8's are shown with the same location used, however both seem to have slightly different forecasts/data on them, even current conditions i have seen have been different between the sd and hd feed (temperatures being different, slightly different todays weather description/forecast).. and i noticed that the SD feed has a more detailed radar  than the hd feed does..)

no need for me to bring up the ever popular issue of the  too bright backgrounds causing the weekend forecast  to sometimes be near invisible to read in the extended forecast  b/c its white on top of brightness

During the LOT8s, as a weather alert slide came in to inform of a "Winter Storm Watch", it started to lag severely, causing a 5-second delay for the rest of the presentation.

On the San Angelo, Texas IS2 sidebar, for the airport area, it shows SAT - which is the airport code for San Antonio. Not San Angelo.

I'm not sure if this is intentional, but the airport code for San Angelo is SJT.

On the Xfinity Chicago SD IntelliStar (21813), the basemap is still green, and there is still buzzing on the 7-day forecast.

21884. On the regional raadar, the city identifier for Baltimore is missing. On the local radar Wilmington's identifier is missing, Bryn Athyn is a bit far from its point, and Marlton should be moved just a tad to the southeast so it's in Burlington County and not Camden.

Anyone else getting moon icons (e.g., clear instead of sunny) during the evening/overnight for tomorrow's forecast, or is this only an issue for those of us out West?

It happened on the New Bedford, MA IntelliStar recently, i'll take a pic tonight if it happens again.

The San Antonio IS2 (Time Warner Cable) apparently did not receive the graphics update. During Local on the 8s, it shows the old IS2 graphics, but it does have the correct LDL during segments and commercials.

Did I miss something? Did all units revert back to their old graphics or just this one?

Edit: Nevermind, it mysteriously changed back to the new graphics. That was weird.

Hey Al.  I noticed the same thing with the IS2 up here in Albany, NY. I agree that it was weird.  So you're not the only one who saw that.

9:08 CT: OKC IS2 was overlaid on top of the satellite feed.  Will need to check again to see if this was a one-time thing or not.  Has anyone else been having this issue recently?

Yeah, it was no longer an issue on the 9:18 LF.  Guess it was just a glitch.
