Accuweather local info

[jamieh1]

accuweather now has your local info on the bottom bar of the channel. Looks seamless can’t tell that it’s reciever generated.
Can’t find any other options. As soon as you hit exit. The local info goes away and comes back instant.

Cool. It uses my "moved" address where the Weather Channel Local on the 8's uses my real, home address, that is interesting.

I assume you are connected to the internet and it's using your ip address.

Yeah, if I wasn't connected to the Internet, I don't think I would see any "local on the 8's", just the national version that is under the local version.

I'm not connected to the internet, and I get Local on the 8's on TWC plus the new local banner on Accuweather. I'm not a "moved" sub so my local add is the same on both channels.

Maybe the receiver can pull your zip code from your account in order to get the weather info without the internet?

Zip codes are put in to the recvr when OTA is set up as well, so it has that info from something already ....
