I really do not get this romanticism with the weather channel. If I need to know the weather which I do every morning, I put the local channel and there I have it. That is the only time I need it. No more.
I don't think you can blame The Weather Channel there.... Your town simply may not have a weather station that they can get data from.And what they mean "local" for me is the next town.
Never had cable service with The Weather Channel ? Basically, at 8 minutes, 18, 28, 38, 48, 58, and repeating, TWC breaks into true "local" weather. It's just as good as what your local TV station will do (except the news is only on a limited number of times each day there). Watch TWC for 15-20 minutes once and they'll announce that "your local weather is coming up". If you're on cable, you'll see it. If you're on satellite, you get weather for Washington DC, New York City, Miami, Dallas, and so on...On a side note, for months I have been seeing people orgasm when talking about "weather on the 8's". What the hell is ""weather on the 8's"?
Not on my 622 yet either. No interactive pop-up.

They think they're offering something that's as good, if not better, than cable offers. I don't think they'll really listen....The only thing I can suggest is for everyone that wants local on the 8's to email dishnetwork.Numbers speak.
Maybe just to shut us up for another month!Nine times out of ten, they aren't aware of these problems.... well, that's what they seem to tell a LOT of people.
