Radar and Weather on Blackberry

C

ChiefEngineer

Lately my wife has been grumbling about the ability to look at Indy area Radar. Backberry. Working GREAT until about a month ago.

CH 8 made some horrible change that made the access to the radar literally change from full screen on the blackberry to the size of a postage stamp.

She called Steve Bray over a month ago when the radar went down for 2 weeks. No callback ofcourse and it came back but very useless.

That said, 8's radar used to be the best but now totally worthless where it's needed most - mobile phones.

Channel 13. Takes several munites to get to a usable radar. Almost not worth the trouble.

CH 6. You call this radar? It looks like somethign somebody took from a WW2 era radar in their basement. No detail, but if you want to see a radar from the 60's take a look.

TV stations ahve messed up on this one. Any other places to access a good mobile radar so my wife doesn't kill us looking while she's...driving?
 
Is it possible Channel 13 is making this difficult on purpose, so that people will subscribe to their personal forecast service?
 
Johnathan: That was my thought.
 
your wife my need to rearrange some priorities, she can't change the weather. Here is a thought have an umbrella and a coat in the car in case it rains or suddenly gets cold. Another gee wiz why not go to Radio Shack and get a weatherband radio--support radio not TV and maybe keep your family and possibly my family alive because she was looking at the radar when she is driving. There is another regulation just waiting to happen.
