• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Some of the Professional Mets on here might be able to help me here. I do some work for a cable TV company. We lost our DTN/Meteorlogix sat feeds recently (Company dropped the service). What do you recommend for a replacement? Something ala' the old TWC style wether info. Something that would be able to go with radar data from National, zoomed to regional, then zoom to local on a rotating basis. Current weather information would be captured from a Davis Station on top of the building.

Anyone with any ideas? I'm not all that familiar with the software packages that would do this sort of thing.

Thanks Rdale. That's not the feature we are looking for, but I found the "Neighborhood Cable Weather" and that looks more like the source we want.

The cable channel is already set and running. For the most part, it runs un-attended 24/7 until there is threatening weather, then the Cable Operator goes "Live" and we use GRLevel3. This goes live to both radio and the cable station customers. Of course they also get my reports from the field as well as another "chaser".

Thanks for the tip, it gives me some direction to go in.
