It happened yesterday on my IS2 as well, but it didn't show tommorow night.

Seeing that almost everyone here now has the IntelliSTAR 2 installed at their cable headends, I'm still amazed that my local headend still has not gotten one. I doubt Charter will get an IS2 within the next year.  :no:  I guess they either can't afford to invest in one or they're just not interested in one at this time, who knows?  :dunno:

New Orleans Cox IS2 is also lacking text on the 36 hour forecast.

Check that - was lacking text - it's there now.

That is weird, for all Charter headends down this way have the IS2.

A lot of Charter headends here in the northwest (e.g. The Dalles, Kennewick, Wenatchee) also have IS2 units but for some reason not yet Astoria. So do a few Comcast headends in this region, like Seattle and Vancouver (Washington).

Considering it took over 4 years for us to get the IS2, I mean even Marietta, which is about an hour away from Atlanta got the IS2 3 years ago. I think Marietta is served by Charter (not Comcast like ATL) Since there are cities/states not far from you that have it and are served by Charter Cable, I think it's possible you'll get the IS2 within the next year. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

I thought I was the only one with the textless 36-hour forecasts.  I first noticed it Friday evening after having only the national feed Friday morning.  It continues today.

Mine became error-free since yesterday. No problems this morning either.

Is this a new product on the sidebar? I haven't seen it before.

I had that on my IS2. Seems like a new addition.

I see a new radar perspective, but nothing much else.

It is still WAY too dumbed down from the versions of yore.

I briefly saw an IntelliSTAR 2 on TV earlier today in Longview, WA while waiting inside a local Jiffy Lube to get my vehicle's oil changed. I didn't see an actual LF though, just the LDL during 'Weather Center Live'. Like many other Xfinity headends, this was a letterboxed Weather Channel HD feed simulcast on SD channel 47.
