Now I know I might be a little late, but Dallas received the new IntelliSTAR HD update on Time Warner Cable and I must say it is beautiful, here's my youtube video of it, Sorry about my unsteady hands, lol.
PS. I also included some screen shots. :]

very cool! thanks for sharing...hoping it will arrive here in Albany, NY soon!
-
Wow, its not there yet? I'm thinking this would be nation wide, but I recalled a post on here where the postee stated that all cable companies couldn't afford that upgrade so some are still on the earlier versions of intellistar, even the weatherstar 4000. Guess I have a lot to learn huh? Other than that, this update is much more, sleek and eye popping than the last one. The last one had all the eyecandy this one has, but it seemed cluttered to me, plus, Jim Cantore is narrating, now cool is that?!
-
This makes me wonder if that once Brighthouse gets TWC HD here if theyll have the IS2.. since they are a branch of TWCable and a lot of TWCable headends have been getting their IS2s as of late :thinking:
-
Lol, Well cross your fingers and hope so :) :P
-
Wow, I guess I'm pretty fortunate to have gotten the IS 2 so soon in Louisiana. I'm very used to it now, but you'd have to think that Dallas would be higher in priority than Lafayette, LA. The IS 2 really is nice, though. It complements TWC's new on-air graphics well.
-
@TWCFAN68 I love it now that they don't do it to where the HD channel shows the entire US vs. Local on the SD channel. Nice Job TWC, now the only issue they need to fix is their programming. -_____-

I reported awhile back that Arlington had gotten the IS2.
For those of us that live in the Tarrant County area and Grand Prarie have Arlington listed as the city on the Local forcast on the IS2.
The four cities that are listed on the Arlington IS2 are Arlington, Bedford, Grand Prarie, and Grapevine.
Do you know what cities are listed on the lower display line during regular programs when it shows the forcast for the next day on the Dallas IS2?
-
Umm,
Dallas, Mesquite and Addison only
Not even Richardson (most of Richardson is in Dallas County)
But i kind of understand, it would be too much I guess.
It's strange now that I think of it though....
-
Nick, if you don't mind me asking, do you live in North Dallas or South Dallas? Because I find it interesting how on the local observations map on the IS2 video you posted doesn't have Dallas centered and shows cities only to the north of Dallas and Fort Worth. :thinking:
Is the IS2 so "area-sensitive" that it can show different cities on the maps for different areas in a specific city (i.e. north and south)?

It might have to do with service area as well :yes:

Possibly. It just seems like an error, though. Every other IS2 video I am watching seems to have the "main city" centered within the observations map. :thinking:

Has anyone observed the beach screen yet live on an IS2?
-
You mean the Marine Forecast? Or is there something else that I'm not aware of? I get the Marine Forecast where I am, so if there's something that involves the coast, I may be able to get it.

Do you mind posting a picture or video of that? I'd like to see how it looks on the IS2. Thanks. :)

I live in North Dallas (75248 area code) Right around the corner from Richardson, but I'm technically in Dallas. :]
-
P.S. I Hope I'm not breaking any rules when I post this, but does anyone know if I will be able to receive an account in Cine? I would really love to try out the emulator :)
-
Here's a pic of what my Marine Forecast looks like:
If there's a new beach screen besides that, I would like to see it too.

I get an interesting screen on my IS2 today:
If this was mentioned somewhere already, then I apologize. Didn't see anything, though.
-
The Precip screen showed up the first day we had the IS2 but was completely unavailable... never saw it since and got told it would be showing up later. First I've seen it actually used and never have seen the other climate screen!
-
I've had yet to see this screen on mines yet. -___-
It's beautiful :)
-
Those screens, and others, are currently not part of any playlist. They must have played because another product was unavailable (I heard there was a radar outage today, so that might be why you saw them).
-
I don't mean to be a stickler Tyler and I am probably posting this in the wrong section, but since I see you're an administrator.....
I've PM'd Martin for a CINE user/pass and it's been months...
are you guys still giving access to CINE? I would love to try out the emulator.
Thanks! :)

Yep, the STAR played an extra long Now screen and then jumped right to these screens. I haven't seen them since, so I'm pretty glad I happened to catch them.
-
Our extended forecast now shows a light blue box underneath to the left of the TWC logo saying to go to weather.com for ski, health, etc information.
Edit: It cycles through messages directing to weather.com.
-
The SD IntelliStar has text under the 7 day.
-

Yeah. It looks like crap to me ;)
-
Soo now the SD intellistar now has text under the 7 day forecast. I happened to catch that last night. It feels soo congested now. lol.
-
I wish the Precip screen would be added in to the playlists. I like it and now that we're actually getting rain it would be really helpful and informative.

Has anyone observed the beach screen yet live on an IS2?
Hi Martin,
We're particularly proud of that one. The design alone took forever and the programming on it to make the data flow correctly was a nightmare! But it works and I love seeing it in action!!! Too bad I'm not in a coastal area.
Also the Marine forecast screen is pretty cool too. Has anyone seen that one yet?

The beach screen is very cool! Excellent job! Too bad it's not in any of the playlists :no:
