General IS2 Discussion

[luesjo12]

It happened yesterday on my IS2 as well, but it didn't show tommorow night.

Seeing that almost everyone here now has the IntelliSTAR 2 installed at their cable headends, I'm still amazed that my local headend still has not gotten one. I doubt Charter will get an IS2 within the next year.    I guess they either can't afford to invest in one or they're just not interested in one at this time, who knows?

New Orleans Cox IS2 is also lacking text on the 36 hour forecast.

Check that - was lacking text - it's there now.

That is weird, for all Charter headends down this way have the IS2.

A lot of Charter headends here in the northwest (e.g. The Dalles, Kennewick, Wenatchee) also have IS2 units but for some reason not yet Astoria. So do a few Comcast headends in this region, like Seattle and Vancouver (Washington).

Considering it took over 4 years for us to get the IS2, I mean even Marietta, which is about an hour away from Atlanta got the IS2 3 years ago. I think Marietta is served by Charter (not Comcast like ATL) Since there are cities/states not far from you that have it and are served by Charter Cable, I think it's possible you'll get the IS2 within the next year. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

I thought I was the only one with the textless 36-hour forecasts.  I first noticed it Friday evening after having only the national feed Friday morning.  It continues today.

Mine came back 11am Sunday morning after being out all Friday night and Sat.

Mine became error-free since yesterday. No problems this morning either.

Is this a new product on the sidebar? I haven't seen it before.

I had that on my IS2. Seems like a new addition.

Cherry Hill (main city, formerly Audubon)
Mount Laurel
Camden
Voorhees
Woodbury

I see a new radar perspective, but nothing much else.

It is still WAY too dumbed down from the versions of yore.

I briefly saw an IntelliSTAR 2 on TV earlier today in Longview, WA while waiting inside a local Jiffy Lube to get my vehicle's oil changed. I didn't see an actual LF though, just the LDL during 'Weather Center Live'. Like many other Xfinity headends, this was a letterboxed Weather Channel HD feed simulcast on SD channel 47.
