General IS2 Discussion

[Localonthe8s]

Went to my uncle's house and was shocked to find the Newark, NJ Cablevision headend finally has the IS 2!!! They were using the satellite HD LF after they canned the beta STAR feed before the IS 2 rolled out.

Via SiliconDust, I discovered that Charter in Redding has an IntelliStar 2:

Sadly Xfinity customers in Massachusetts can't enjoy the IS2 anytime soon, only then i would watch TWC again.

There's no sign of the IS2 here.  I doubt Blacksburg will get one for another year or two given the small market and how slowly Xfinity (Comcast) is trickling out these updates.

Same here for Astoria. All if not most of the other Charter headends across Washington and Oregon (Medford, Wenatchee, etc.) have IS2 units but for some reason not yet the Charter headend in Astoria    Click! Network up in Tacoma has an IS2 at their headend as well according to SiliconDust.

No IS2 in Philly yet. You would think we would be one of the first Comcast markets to get them since they're based out of here... good ole Comcast mentality.

They seem to be rolling out a heck of a lot faster for Charter subscribers than any other cable companies that I've seen posted in this thread. Not just over the past few months, but since it's been out of the beta stages.

There's now an IS2 in Miami:

TWC StarHD Miami, FL - Local Forecast 10:18pm - 4/28/13

From my source at Local On The 8s Support Xfinity would get a total of 200-300 New HD IS2's by the end of this year.

Just be happy you don't have FiOS. They don't seem to be interested at all in adding the IS2 for TWC HD.

I saw the IS2 for the first time in person while at a hotel in Asheville, NC and also in Gatlinburg, TN.  The cable company at both of those hotels was Charter.
