It is still working great for me at all ranges.

Your Digital Media Has Never Looked So Good

Thanks for the feedback RI-Pilot and CtDish!
Yea, I tried mine this morning and it (78758 Austin,Texas) would only pull up the national radar and the two zoomed in ones were not there (black image with error in red).
RI_Pilot what zip are you in, I may try to load your zip and see if all three radar views work.

The application settings are stored on the internal flash memory in the following location...
/mnt/flash0/etc/rokucascade/settings/com.roku.WeatherSix
A typical settings file looks something like this:
As you can see, each location can contain a zip code or Weather Channel's location code followed by a delimiter character then the location name followed by another delimiter and then the URL to the 600 mile doppler radar image. These settings are recorded when the location is initially added and so if The Weather Channel changes the URL of their radar image, then the URL contained in the settings file will be incorrect. For the 300 mile radar image, all I do is replace the 'closeradar' string in the URL with 'ultraradar'.
The current URL for the 600 mile doppler radar image for Austin is http://image.weather.com//web/radar/us_ ... s_usen.jpg
Can you telnet into your box and tell me what you see in your settings file?
If the URL is incorrect, then try deleting the location and re-add it to force an update of the URL in the settings file.
