| Re: Storm warnings in the Minneapolis area 4/30 Yes, I wasn't watching TV last night but this happened to me all the time last year and I hate it. In theory it's a good thing. However, I can't say its ever successfully changed the channel and stayed on it. It either locks up for a moment or flickers the Weather Channel and then returns to a normal program. At the same time, completely ruining any DVR recordings. First off, why the Weather Channel? It's a nationwide channel with little local focus. Normally all you'll get it the same scrolls you get on the local news channels. I'd rather it changed to KARE-11 or another local affiliate who actually have information on severe storms. I've always thought a little pop-up at the bottom of the screen would be a much better idea. It wouldn't need to change the channel, screw up recordings, information would be guaranteed, and you can exit the pop-up whenever you wanted.
