Still haven't gotten any word about Xfinity and the IS2, all they're worrying about is the X1 DVR

I get the feeling you won't hear anything during the rest of this year unless we are given a big surprise.

How does this DVR differ from what they're already using?

DCH3416: 2 Tuner DVR with 160GB HD-DVR Capacity
DCX3400: 2 Tuner DVR with 250GB HD-DVR Capacity
PX001ANM: 5-6 Tuner DVR with 500GB HD-DVR Capacity

i really don't mind the wait since TWC is already in the process of the Graphics update in Fall/Winter 2013.

Mount Holly just got an is2!  :dance:

Again they are putting the hd feed on the sd just like other users reported. Sadly I don't have a tv tuner.

The unit is serving Aubdon. That's too far south of me. I thought something was interesting when the intellistar SD cut out around midnight.

Here are a couple of videos. Since I don't have a TV tuner I used a camera.

I wish my Charter headend down in Astoria would get an IS2 unit already. By the looks of things they don't seem to be interested in purchasing one at this time.  :(
