Latest update i got from The Weather Channel's Local On The 8s Support about the HD Local Forecasts.

"Unfortunately, the Comcast rollout of HD locals continues to be stalled. No dates for implementation yet."

I get the feeling Comcast isn't ready to run with these updates, and it's going to be a long while before they do.

I'm thinking they're still waiting until every Xfinity area is all digital (which is supposed to be completed in early 2013) and has TWC lHDl before they add the IS2 to any system.

I'm looking forward to the day when I turn on TWCHD and actually see a local forecast.  I wish Time Warner Cable in Albany, NY would get it.

I've been wishing that too Steve-O

Ocala, FL has the IntelliStar 2! I saw the IS2 for the first time in person today.

Lucky. I've yet to see an IS2 but so far I'm still seeing satellite LFs on the HD feed

Xfinity Update from TWC

We have started shipping the HD stars for Comcast, but I don't have a city by city schedule. So it appears it should be in the next several months

About freaking time! I just hope the Chicago headend gets one soon.

Yay! Maybe they'll be coming on around the time of the IS update in March

I believe Martin mentioned a few weeks back that that update may be delayed due to issues.

It's unfortunate to think there will probably be a few rarely seen or never seen again forecast products since the LFs have been gutted.

I'm more interested in what kind of cities they would use differently on the LDL from the LDL used on the IS, I remember how on the first week the blue LDL debuted, they used odd and random locations like Piedmont Park for example.

I would imagine they will modify the playlists when the updates roll out. Likely why they haven't done it yet.

Does anyone know if Verizon FiOS has any plans to add the IS2?

Searching on Verizon's Idea Exchange forum the only comment I could find from Verizon was,
Joe_Ambeault Employee on 05-16-2011 03:59 AM  "On this list, but probably not for this year."

Now it's 2013 if I'm correct no Verizion FiOS system has the IS2.

Doubt it. My uncle had Fios for a while (and was looking forward to the IS2 himself). Went back to Cablevision in a heartbeat. I assume you live in New York City..why don't you switch to Cablevision instead if you want to see the IS2? Cable and internet (optimum online) together is actually cheaper than Fios.
