Another note to add. When you speak to anyone is any type of sales department they aren't necessarily going to tell you the truth. They are going to say whatever it takes to make their product or service seem fantastic and sugar coat any problems with it. I would advise against bothering the TWC Sales department with questions like the ones above.

But you have to think it was worth a shot to see if the sales would give somewhat of a definitive answer due to the very sluggish progress of the beta.

I'm with Martin. Don't bother TWC with emails like that when you have insiders (like me and Martin) to tell you exactly what is going on.

Nah its perfectly ok! We are just saying don't fill their inbox with all types of questions. I didn't know if Mike was implying that you should ask them about the ldl. Thats all ;)

nope i didn't ask TWC about the ldl (if thats what you were implying) and i certainly do not fill TWC's inbox's with all sorts of questions :no:

 i was just thinking it might be in some sort of testing because it was not showing any of the of the LDAs on the HD end.

Officially, the LDL hasn't been discontinued. That's all I can say at this point.

The IS 2 looks great! It's out where I live now, and I think Jim's narrations are really good. At first I thought it was a little strange, but they are definitely sick (meaning totally awesome). I love those "old" icons too.

I know I'm not the only one that sees an HD STAR in a place other than Nashville, right?

Wait, is the IS 2 out in other places other than Nashville? I'm seeing it right in front of me in Louisiana. I'll get some pics up later.

If I could refer to the IS2 launch date conversation, I did ask FPB a while back (Just before it launched) when I might see the IS2 (I did kinda write it as a side-note) they said "either late this year or early next year" and something about "smaller cable companies being last" unfortunately, I lost the e-mail when I cleaned out my inbox. I'm not counting on "this year" more than likely my guess would be March-April for my area.
