General IS2 Discussion

[KevOwensby]

Pretty sure we're past the beta phase, so starting a general IS2 thread.

Is anyone else only getting the national LDL since they switched it to red and started showing the Beryl bug?

[Eric]

Yes!

I thought it was because the IS2 was running the tropical storm warning and hurricane local statements non-stop (which the IS isn't).  I'm glad to know that it's a nationwide problem.

Actually, I was worried that the IS2 was having glitches again, especially since it took a month (!) to get it working.

I thought it was on ours, too. Then we got a Special Weather Statement yesterday for heat and realized it must just not be activating. We're getting our LOT8's (or whatever it's on at this point.) Just thought I'd ask if anybody else was having the same issue. Not going to rant... but I would think this would be the time that they'd want to have the local LDL on the most, since most of the actual coverage is concentrated on a certain few areas.

National LDL here too

With the shorter LF's, I don't seem to be getting my Marine Forecast or Almanac anymore. Anyone else notice this? The graphics were so good on the IS2, and I'll be sad if I can't see them anymore.

Same here, but we never had a marine forecast here since I had the Farmingdale IS2. I don't know why they didn't have it on the Islip IS2.

I talked with The Weather Channel and i was told they finished recommendations for the number of units for the New England Area and they will have to turn in those changes to comcast and the estimation is around 1 month for Comcast to order then be shipped the IS2.

Let the waiting game begin...it's just a matter of time now before Comcast begins rolling them out!

Does anybody know where TWC Star team went? my IS2 went out in may and has been down for about a month and his profile shows that he has not been online since june 5th? did he take a vaction?

[Trevor]

He's has a job as an actual employee of TWC, and he comes on when he gets a chance. He'll be on sometime or another. If not, shoot an email to someone at TWC, they'll forward you to the right department.

They have stated before that they do visit the forums on a regular basis, but are not logged on while doing so most of the time.

well my areas IS2 was restored. It seems that they know about the problem that is plaguing the IS2s it seems to be a video board issue and they are working on it according to someone who got back to me via email from the weather channel.
