Weather Channel HD - No local weather

Just had a defective set top box replaced with a new one. Since replacing, I'm not getting local weather on the Weather Channel HD like I did with old box. Any idea why?

Weather channel uses a specialized computer called IntelliStar at each of the cable company's local head end to overlay graphics when the "Weather on the 8's" comes up. There is currently a HD version out, but it is still being tested in select markets. Here's the wikipedia link if you want to read more about it...

  • Weather Channel's 1-Click Weather Toolbar Add-on Not Working in Firefox 4

    After installing the Weather Channel's 1-Click Weather Toolbar Add-on, I get 2 Java messages and don't see the toolbar - even though it is listed in the add-ons list and is activated.
    This toolbar is it not working in this version. It worked in previous versions.
    Do you have any suggestions.

    I'm going post the answer here too for everyone else.
    To make a long story short, the addon wasn't updated for Firefox 4. Someone edited the addon to make it work on Firefox 4. This updated addon can be found here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=W1HDG9HM

  • How do I change the weather icon to my local weather?

    I am new to iPhone and have 2 questions:
    1. How do I change the wether icon from Cupertino and New York to local weather?
    2. How do I remove icons from the home page that came already installed? I tried pressing and holding until they vibrate but no 'X" appears to delete them.
    Thanks!

    1. How do I change the wether icon from Cupertino and New York to local weather?
    Select the i circle icon at the bottom right.
    Select the + icon at the top right to add a city. Select the red - icon next to a city on the list to remove a city.
    Select the icon at the far right of each city to move that city up of down on the list.
    Select Done at the top right when finished.
    2. How do I remove icons from the home page that came already installed? I tried pressing and holding until they vibrate but no 'X" appears to delete them.
    The default icons cannot be removed. The default icons will not have an X to remove them. Only user created web clippings will have the X and can be removed.

  • Weather icon wont find local weather

    my local weather will not update on the weather app.

    HI,
    I have just noticed this too.   Local weather wont update, however, a fixed location will.....My location services are all turned on too.
    The local weather tab pulls the location and the high and low temperatures, but the rest remains blank.  I have tried hard reset and turning the location services off and on again but still the same.

  • No Local Forecast On The Weather Channel

    I have the Weather Channel on FIOS but I don't get my local forecast.

    You don't state where your location is, since the results vary from location to location.
    The NYC Metro has:
    1) Channel 49 - Weatherscan from Weather channel
    2) Channel 119 Weather Channel's "Weather on the 8's"
    3) Channel 619 Weatherchannel HD but only national "Weather on the 8's
    4) FIOS News Channels 1/501  (Hudson Valley, Long island or Northern New Jersey)
    I prefer option 1 or 4 as the Weather Channel rarely has weather, but now chooses to put on all kinds of weather related reality shows.

  • LOCAL Weather Channel 49

    What has happened to my local weather - channel 49?!!! If I wanted to watch the weather channel I turn to 119. Now my local channel has national weather information. My dad lives in southeast PA and said that it took two weeks before his local weather was restored. Please put it back to local weather! 

    Where are you located?
    If I remember correctly, the PA outage was due to a hardware failure.
    May be the same in your area.

  • The Weather Channel: Local on the 8's in HD

    I guess I should be happier than most, the SD Weather Channel gets a Washingon Metro local-on-the-eights insertion.
    However the HD version of the weather channel gets the generic national version.
     What gives?

    The HD version only supplies a generic version of the local forecasts at this time. This is what the Weather Channel says about this issue;
    "The technology to produce a detailed Local on the 8s in High Definition is currently under development. We expect to make available a completely re-designed Local on the 8s in HD with a new look and new content in early 2009. In the interim, you will receive the same Local on the 8s that you have been getting in standard definition from your existing provider."

  • Weather Channel HD question...no local weather?

    So quick question - why is there local weather on the SD version but not the HD version?  That's just strange.  I searched on the board and found a question on this over a year old, and I find it hard that they haven't found a solution in all this time, especially with the new upgrades.  How would you get local weather warnings on the HD feed?

    Weather channel uses a specialized computer called IntelliStar at each of the cable company's local head end to overlay graphics when the "Weather on the 8's" comes up.

  • Weather Channel Local Forecast

    My friends who still have Comcast get local weather with The Weather Channel..........toms River.
    Ever since switching To Verizon, we get Newark's weather.
    Who cares about Newark, and how do I get Toms River weather again?
    If my Comcast friends did not still get Toms River, I'd say it was a problem with the Weather Channel, but they do still get Toms River forcasts.
    Can someon explain?

    Robert, thanks for the reply.   We are an hour south of Newark, on the shore as well, so our weather is very different.   I hope your friend is right.
    Charles H. employee............tell whomever you should tell that as soon as my year is up, I am switching back to
    Comcast.  Nothing you can do about it now?  Robert here has more information that you have, lol
    Yesterday I was put on hold for over an hour waiting for tech support in regard to another problem, and was disconnected before I got to speak to anyone.  I called again, was transferred another 5 times and was put on hold for 35 minutes until I hung up.  I don't have time to waste hanging on waiting  to be transferred to every single tech department you have and then hanging on for hours for support that I pay for.
    You know, maybe it's worth the cancellation fee to get out of this now.

  • Weather Channel Missing Local On The 8's and local weather info.

    I Have rebooted my box twice and still only get generic/national weather with no local info or maps for two days. According to the Weather Channel: "Your cable provider may be experiencing a technical problem with The Weather Star computer. The Weather Star is a piece of equipment located at your cable system that generates the Local On The 8s graphics for your area. " http://dw.weather.com/interact/contactus/localforecast.html Can someone please fix the box that generates the Local On The 8s graphics for the Claremont, NH area (03743)? Thank you!

     Well, it's either coincidence or someone is really on the ball - either way the local came back just 10 minutes after I posted the message above. Thanks!

  • Channel 49 has national weather not local weather

    For at least two days, the local weather is not on channel 49.  49 is a mirror of the national weather channel.
    When will this be corrected?

    Without any direct knowledge of the situation, my answer is "when the Weather Channel fixes it." I have seen this occasionally in the past here in the DFW area, and my understanding is that when the Weather Channel has problems sending the local weather info they just substitute the national feed. I am pretty sure there is nothing Verizon can do but wait for the Weather Channel to fix whatever the problem is. Of course as usual I could be wrong

  • Recently I have been unable to acccess my local weather or other zip code weather reports on the Weather Channel using my laptop. My wife has no problem accessing from her laptop from same location.

    This problem is new. I have always been able to access the Weather Channel's website and obtain weather reports for various zip codes. I have Window 7 and use Firefox and Google. I have The Weather Channel as one of my Bookmarks. The site comes up when requested but the three locations that I had listed are not evident and when I type in the zip codes nothing comes up.

    Hi there, I have the same problem with my envy 17ts-j100. I was trying to recover and I had a reset failed massage to I powered it off and went to sleep. The laptop won't boot to bios with symptoms as above.
    Somebody please help out.

  • Why is the Weather Channel app blocked in OSX?

    Every attempt I've made this evening to install a The Weather Channel app on this computer has been blocked.
    The app is fine on iOS..
    What gives??

    Because iOS App's for iDevices are not made to run in OS X.
    Also > The Weather Channel App for Windows with Current Conditions, Local Alerts, and Radar, will not work because it is only for Windows desktops.
    You can however get the > The Weather Channel Widget for your OS X Desktop and then easily access Weather.com from it.

  • What happened to The Weather Channel HD Feed

    Live in Comcast Elgin/Algonquin area. Channel 270 for The Weather Channel HD is broadcasting in SD feed. Anyone else experiencing this issue. All of my other HD channels are working properly.

    I'm having the same issue for channel 832 in Atlanta, using a Tivo with a Cablecard.  For two months now TWC has been widescreen SD on the HD channel, even though all the local commercials (e.g. Xfinity business) are in 1080i HD on that channel.  All of the TWC content is SD, the local cable commercials are HD in other words so I know it's an HD channel.
    I've called Comcast and had them open a ticket, called TWC to have them check the problem, even PM'd ComcastTeds here and no one has responded with a fix for the problem.
    I'm in zip 30106, Austell area, on the Vinings headend I think.
    Apologies for the delay in responding. I have asked a few more Atlanta area team members to review this and get eyes on glass.
    Thanks for your continued patience.

  • Why is Weather Channel HD now showing in SD?

    Harford County MD.  Comcast channel 815, Weather Channel HD, has been appearing in SD for several days.  I rebooted, etc., all other channels normal.  Any chance of it being fixed?

    Thanks comcastzach.I got a generic response offering to look into my picture quality problems.I, and the OP, are not having picture quality problems.A change was made on Comcasts end, affecting the Weather channels HD feed in Maryland and Boston. I will bet others are seing it too.Addressing it as a local problem will be of no help at all.Thanks for trying.
