General IS2 Discussion

[toxictwister00]

I guess someday it will bleed it's way down here. It's not like it's been out nearly 4 years or anything. 

At this point it doesn't really matter, the version, graphically I wanted to see in person is long gone and even if it wasn't it would be butchered because it would only play the same preselected tired out forecast products like the IS does.

On the upside, having a LF in HD regardless of what it looks like would be fine with me. I'm really sick and tired of seeing the national feed on the HD channel especially since I rather watch most channels (including TWC) in HD.

if only the graphics could revert back to Titan HD

I actually forgot about the 33% LDL

Titan was good in its prime, but I find TruVu is much clearer and faster than any of its predecessors.

i received a reply from TWC with the hopes the Radar on the IS2 might be updated! hopefully there is more coming in the near future.

"Thanks for reaching out with your concern. As you know, we have changed the look of our Local on the 8s. While we do not plan on going back to the old look, we have had complaints about the graphics with the radar, as you've heard as well. Therefore, we are looking in to making improvements (timing TBD). Stay tuned!"

Comcast in Seattle just got a IS2, Surprised to see one in Seattle personally.

Heard a promotion for TWC/AMHQ on the radio today.  It was tagged by Comcast:  "Now on Xfinity, get your local weather all the time, now in HD!  Channel 815!"

So they're promoting the IS2, basically.

*grumbles about having Fios and the world's most pathetic Intellistar 1*

Comcast in San Jose, CA finally has received the Intellistar 2!

Comcast in San Jose, CA finally has received the Intellistar 2!

Congratulations!  I think it was a bigger deal before last November, when there were actual graphical differences and the IS2 was a major step up, but it still must be very nice to be able to get local weather on the HD feed.

[HulkieD]

I think the graphical differences are a lot more noticable than people think - the animation is definitely smoother.

I just want something to replace my Unintellistar which goes nuts and shuts down every several days or so.

Has anyone seen these errors on their IS2 before?

[Evan2015]

Two things. 1. When did the IS2 get traffic? And 2. When did my town get big enough for a traffic report?

Edit: It took me a while to finally get the pictures attached. Every time I posted from my phone, the pictures would be flipped upside down. Only way to fix it was to flip the picture upside down and then re-flip it to the correct orientation in the Photos app.

There is still a bug in the local forecast, at least in the Dayton, OH area.
At the end of the local forecast (upper right portion of the screen), there is a "TONIGHT" and "TOMORROW" forecast.

The "TOMORROW" is supposed to be using the daytime icons, but the nighttime icons are showing up there.  It happens frequently, too.
