Among the features of The Weather Channel, the one that makes it particularly attractive to cable system operators is the capacity for switching from the big picture to local weather.The Weather Network in Canada also used WS4000s. WS4000 Simulator is a free, cross-platform emulation of the WeatherSTAR, which refers to the technology used by American cable and satellite television network The Weather Channel (TWC), to generate its local forecast segments (currently known under the brand Local on the 8s) on cable and IPTV systems nationwide. The hardware takes the form of a computerized unit installed at a cable system's headend.Much like teletext, the original WeatherSTAR relies heavily on using the vertical blanking interval in order to be displayed on customer television sets.Since my other thread is nearly 2 years old, I decided to start a new one dedicated to legacy STAR emulations that I create. From the WeatherSTAR3000 (1980s) to the IntelliSTAR v1.5 (2005-2007)To start off, here's an emulation of the WeatherSTAR XL v1 created in After Effects. I even took somefor MESS build. See the Compiling MAME page on our documentation site for more information, including prerequisites for Mac OS X and popular Linux distributions. For recent versions of OSX you need to install Xcode including command-line tools and SDL 2.0.
Visual Studio builds are also possible, but you still. Here, I am displaying the WS4000 Simulator from my Lenovo laptop over to my Casio TV-2000 pocket color TV using a generic VGA to Composite converter. Although the Windows version is being demonstrated in this picture, WS4000 is also available on Linux and macOS (aka Mac OS X).Weatherstars and The Weather Network.edit. Weatherstar Emulator Download Link InAll Copyrights acknowaged.Contents. Currently, the link is down because the programmers are still working hard on making a new updated version so that way, it would closely resemble more like the real 4000s. Recently, Taiganet took down the download link in order to get the WeatherSTAR 4000 Emulator. This program currently works ONLY on PCs and NOT on Macs! Therefore, there is no Mac version avaiable.Also, other WeatherSTAR versions (like the 3000 and Junior) are currently not avaiable to find on the internet. The web address that you see here shows where you can download the WeatherSTAR 4000 Emulator.This program is NOT officaly made by The Weather Channel or its parent company (NBC Universial). The latest breakthrough is successful compilation and execution on Mac OSX El Capitan! As always, you can see the latest updates in.Date: 4-26-07 Location: Peoria, IL STAR: 4000 (Emulated) My first ever recording of Taiganet's WeatherSTAR 4000 Emulator. This would make sense to me, since the WS4000 unit was designed and manufactured for both TWC and TWN by none other than a Canadian company, Amirix, based in.I'm not sure about Meteomedia, but I'd assume that they used the same, considering that TWN & Meteomedia are both owned by, which TWC here in the USA has a majority stake in, if I'm not mistaken. The Weather Network in Canada also used WS4000s, albeit programmed with their own fonts & graphics (of course) and weather data from Environment Canada. Yes, it certainly was, at least the WeatherStar 4000. — Preceding comment added by (. 05:21, (UTC) IntelliStar 2 When could an IntelliStar 2 article be created? It's been out in beta for a while.08:43, 4 December 2010 (UTC) Never mind, it's been done. I'm wondering if it's a -type system as well, but programmed to TWN's specs. Here's a link to a thread on twcclassics.com posted by a a Canadian fellow who shared some screen captures of TWN from 1993, so you can see for yourself: Nowadays, TWN uses a different system that still looks almost the same as the TWN WS4000 (according to the poster of the thread at the above link). 23:46, 8 June 2014 (UTC) I'm a proponent of deleting, and, if no independent reliable sources can be found on the subjects. The IntelliStar is actually a more-known system to the public, and actually has more factual information in its article than the rest of the other STAR articles. I guess that would make sense then, but I'd probably keep the article separate from this merger if it does happen. 20:52, 16 June 2014 (UTC). The TWC Wiki doesn't seem to have any verifiability requirements.It looks like the Wikipedia articles are the result of years of very minor observations by TWC fans, and the wikia site seems like a natural place to preserve that effort before it's removed here. 08:07, 15 June 2014 (UTC) I came across a, which looks like an excellent place to merge unsourced information from these articles before it's deleted. I would not expect the information in or to be around much longer. If the information in these articles isn't already copied to another website, I'd suggest copying it elsewhere, even to a forum post, then use archive.org to make an archival copy of that copy, as a means of preserving the information. However, Wikipedia has a 'notability' requirement for article inclusion, described at and elsewhere, that generally requires the existence of multiple independent with significant coverage about a subject.In the case of Intellistar 2, I haven't found any reliable source in Google that mentions even its name, let alone verifies that all the technical details in the article are accurate. 09:55, 15 June 2014 (UTC).Sage, Connie (2011). I've included small excerpts from restricted-access journal articles. I nominated both articles for deletion based on failure to meet Wikipedia's for a stand-alone article.22:43, 15 June 2014 (UTC) Reliable sources on WeatherStar Here are some mostly-reliable sources on WeatherStar (called 'WeatherSTAR' by most sources STAR='Satellite Transmitter Addressable Receiver'), which may be useful in expanding this article, or verifying information in it. 08:07, 15 June 2014 (UTC).Oppose merger of and here, as they contain no information verifiable with a cited source that isn't already contained in this article.

Any opinions?22:36, 19 June 2014 (UTC) I have complete the merge and moved nothing new into this article. I don't see any of its material as appropriate for merging here, as this article already has a section on the WS4000, and the WS4000 article cites no reliable sources.
