I can tell you, the Intellistar's are NOT at the VSO's, only at the VHO.
That is why, for instance here in Northern DE - the local forecast on the Weather Channel and Weatherscan always centered around Philly (since that's where the hardware was - I saw the actual server). Then after some complaints they tweaked the settings to eventually swap in forecasts for Delaware, and then up north towards Trenton on a rolling basis.
