I think so, but it's only because I've never heard anything about it until now. :dunno:

You know you've been waiting far too long you get the IS2 if part of your dream involves you flipping through the HD channels to see you finally got it and you're actually excited about it. :itsok: In reality I wouldn't be excited about it, it's just the principle of not having it after this long period of time.

That's how I felt.  I knew approximately when it was coming, but couldn't find out on which channel.  I was randomly channel surfing one day when I came across the HD feed - with the IS2!  It took about another week for the channel to appear on the on-screen programming guide.

Don't get your hopes up. With all this L-Bar and long form programming, I seldom get to see it. :thumbdown:

it's lovely the Boston Area doesn't even have the IS2, and the director of Xfinity Boston PR hasn't gotten any word of a launch date yet.

Yeah, that's what irked me when I lived there.  The Boston area was one of the first to get the HD feed, but we've been through the discussions of why Comcast hasn't adopted IS2 in most areas yet... and why they probably won't in the foreseeable future.  :(

On the other hand, you have Weatherscan up there, which we don't down here.

Easter still isn't narrated... :rolleyes: You'd think they'd have recorded it and everything by now. Instead it's just "Our local forecast."

Does the IS2 show "Easter" as a day name?  If so, I am very surprised because Easter is not considered a federal holiday, and I thought the IS2 only showed/narrated federal holidays, like the NWS. :thinking:

Xfinity Massachusetts went all digital today (all analog and basic cable removed), i bet even with the new bandwidth avaliable we won't see the IntelliStar 2 anytime soon  :hmm:

I guess they didn't want to zoom the map out too far so they set it to split the area of Hawaii into two maps. I doubt they would use multiple metro maps for any other area outside of Hawaii.

Cool!  An IS2 from Hawaii! :biggrin:

An important question, though: is that city-by-city 36-hour forecast new, or only for Hawaii?  I have not seen it on another other IS2 videos that anyone has posted. :no:

There have been videos of city-by-city 36-hour forecast. I've seen them for sure. Just can't find them  :hmm:
